About The Fest
Since 2021, the Roanoke Comedy Fest (RCF) has been lighting up the Star City with laughter as the region’s first multi-day comedy festival. What began as a grassroots event has grown into a full-scale annual celebration of stand-up and improv, showcasing the best local talent, rising regional stars, and acclaimed national headliners. Powered by passionate volunteers, enthusiastic audiences, and the support of generous sponsors, RCF is a testament to Roanoke’s creative spirit and love for comedy. 2025 promises to be our best RCF yet. More shows, amazing comedians, and the unmistakable sense of community that has made the Roaoke Comedy Fest an enduring tradition.

Please be patient with us. We are a skeleton crew and even producing a small-ish grassroots festival is a big undertaking. We guarantee that every submission will get due consideration, and we will reach out if we feel you’re a good fit.
