We kick off MONDAY NIGHT with 2 FREE shows!! Join us in building community through laughter. These are both weekly shows in Santa Cruz and headlining both are Rea Kapur / she has an upcoming headliner spot at The Improv in San Jose (her first) and we’re excited she’s limbering up at the fest.

Ooh la la - this show on Saturday, October 17th is not only an early one (5:30pm start sharp) but it's in Santa Cruz's swankiest bar The Alley-Oop. 90 minutes. 11 comics and a mix of headliners and All Stars. Art by Jane Malone.

Intimate. 50 tix total. Let's get swanky.

Let's start checking out what is coming up on Saturday, October 17th for the fest. We got a double bill at the The Blue Lagoon.

Frankly, I've always had it in my mind (DNA here) to do the entire festival at the Blue. Just a week straight of comedy shows - and this year we're dipping our three toes into that idea.

Saturday, October 17th at 4:30pm is a Somatic Body Workshop being led by one of our headliners - Tony Nagi. Besides comedy, clowning, and cutting edge sketches, Toni helps people release trauma. This is filling up and could change your life.

Then at 8pm, from the streets of SF is Mirthquake! 90 minutes of stand up and improv from the best and funniest minds of the Bay Area. $10adv/$15 door.

Unlike almost every other venue for the festival which will be on best behavior, Mirthquake is unfiltered and raw.

It’s official. Here is the 2026 schedule. All tickets available at our website.
