Comedy Fans in NC and the entire Southeast are encouraged to buy tickets online for NC Comedy Arts Festival performances.
Acts featured here are among the most recognized names on the scene alongside up-and-coming comedy acts and comics you will want to say you saw before they hit Comedy Central, Conan or Late Show with David Letterman. A limited number of all-access VIP show passes are available for $175. Email info@nccomedyarts.com for these passes and we'll get you set up asap.
Once your Act has submitted — and been accepted to — the festival, you will be asked to register your Act (ALL MEMBERS) as official festival participants. Participant registration begins November 16th. Submission review fees and participant registration fees are two different charges. If you have questions about the difference in the two fees, please contact festival staff. NCCAF may offer registration discounts for acts appearing in multiple weeks of the festival but this is not guaranteed.
Fee covers: T-shirt, performance slot*, general show admission, weekday panel admission, discounts on local business and hotel rates, discount tickets on premium shows, parties.
