"Laugh After Dark ComedyFest was so unique and such a fun experience. It wasn’t like any festival I’ve ever attended. The creative mix of comedy, music and film was electric. I met so many amazing friends who I continue to follow and support today."

"I had a blast at the Laugh After Dark Comedy Fest. It was very well run, featured great comics & films and would highly recommend it!"
Jeff WalshFilmmaker, 2022
"Comics, regardless of experience level, would benefit greatly from attending ComedyFest in Las Vegas. The exposure to industry and networking opportunities are reasons alone. But add in the quality of shows, the curated experience, and downtown Las Vegas and it’s a no brainer."
Chris TrewBooker, Comedy House NOLA
"I had a great time at Laugh After Dark. You could tell Robert and Kelsey went the extra mile for the participants. Everything they talked about doing on their website, they did."
