OUR PARTNERS + SPONSORS
We love Las Vegas! As locals ourselves, we could not think of a better place to welcome and host our ComedyFest guests than the Downtown Arts District! Featurig some of the best foodie hotspots in the city, we have partnered with several of our favorite local gems and restaurants to offer our guests and nominees a sampling of the best Vegas has to offer!
If you are interested in aligning your brand with some of the biggest names in comedy, please reach out! We still have a few sponsorship opportunities available.
Festival Events
Whether you’re in the mood for popcorn and binge-watching comedy at the film screenings, or you’re ready to be part of a live studio audience at a Laugh After Dark live taping, each day will feature an array of comedy education, entertainment, and networking opportunities for festival participants, industry, media, and attendees!

- Club
- Clean
- Alt
- Musical
- Unfiltered/Dirty
We were thrilled with the outstanding quality of so many of our film submissions this year! We can't wait to showcase a great lineup of comedy films at ComedyFest.
Categories include:
- Features
- Shorts

- Sketch
- Music Videos
