Big thanks to our Arch Sponsor, .georgia !🌴🔥

They’ve been serving up their signature “toasted” subs and laid-back vibes since ‘98 - definitely not your average sandwich shop👀

If you know, you know. We’re pumped to have them supporting Athens Comedy Fest this year.

Appreciate you .georgia 🙌

Karen Morgan is back in Athens TOMORROW!🎤

Athens-born, now Maine-based, she’s bringing the laughs back south with two Dry Bar Comedy specials (Rub Some Dirt On It + Go Dawgs! - one of the top clips of 2023 👀), a recent feature on The Talk, and her latest album Shiny Happy People Laughing on SiriusXM.

She’s also still licensed to practice law in both Maine and Georgia, and splits her time between touring and living in Cumberland, Maine.

Big thanks to our Arch Sponsor, !🎉

They’ve been around Athens since ’87 and have pretty much always been the place people go to see what’s going on - music, food, events, all of it.

If you live here, you know Flagpole. We’re really glad to have them supporting Athens Comedy Fest this year. Thank you for supporting year 2!

Appreciate you🙌

Say hello to Karen Mills at Athens Comedy Fest!💫

A nationally touring comedian with over 30 years of experience, Mills brings sharp, relatable comedy rooted in real life. Her no-nonsense take on aging, family, and life’s little frustrations hits home - and hits hard (in the best way).

She’s performed on the Grand Ole Opry, appeared on The Talk, toured with Leanne Morgan, and was recently featured in Stephen Wilson Jr.’s “Gary” alongside Gary Sinise. Her special Baby Got Bad Back has racked up over 40 million views, and she’s been featured in The Showcase produced by Nate Bargatze. You can also hear her regularly on SiriusXM comedy channels.

A self-proclaimed “crazy dog lady,” Mills' honest, straight-forward style will have you laughing at yourself - because you’ve lived it too.

Catch with us on Thursday, April 30th at Live Wire Athens. Tickets in bio - grab yours before they’re gone!🎟✨

Get ready for Jeff Klein at Athens Comedy Fest!🔥

Coming out of Florida, Klein brings bold, unfiltered comedy that dives into identity, belonging, and everything in between. His sharp, self-aware style keeps audiences laughing long after the show ends.

Known for his hit special Fatty Gay and his viral online series, Klein's storytelling is honest, hilarious, and unforgettable.
