The Traverse City Comedy Fest is the nation's liveliest and most entertaining comedy festival. Our philosophy: Crack up! It's good for you! And it is! We've been presenting a huge variety of comedy and comedians for the past three years. Laughter has always been the best medicine, and man, do we deliver the laughter. On the shores of Lake Michigan, we bring you some of the nation's most well-known standup comedians, performing in great venues, with an infectious enthusiasm from everyone involved in the fest. Sometimes naughty, sometimes squeaky clean, the fest has something for everyone.
NOTE: due to multiple Fest venues, tickets are sold by a third party, not City Opera House. You will be leaving the City Opera House website to purchase tickets.
