WE DEFINE COMEDY HUSTLE!

Our festival features acts from all over North America performing in local Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Durham venues during the month of February.

NCCAF has featured the most amazing comedy in the country.

In 2007 LOUIS CK saved comedy when he flew down to step in last minute for Horatio Sanz. His performance was EPIC! Other inspiring festival acts have included Eddie Brill, Bassprov, Drum Machine, The Josh & Tamra Show, Death by Roo Roo, and Chicago's The Reckoning. For the last two years NCCAF has featured both standup and improvised sets performed by Comedy Legend Emo Philips. (Sadly Emo will not be joining us in 2013. NEXT YEAR!)

Emo Philips transcends comedy.
