12 shows. Over 75 performers. Countless laughs. From November 5-9th, improvisers, stand-up comedians, and sketch comedy guests from across North America will converge on Greenville, SC for the 12th Annual New South Comedy Festival.
We are currently accepting performer submissions, but starting in October, you can purchase individual tickets to each show or use this pass to see all shows! Seating is limited and general admission, so it's always wise to pre-purchase your tickets online and arrive early. All shows will be at the Alchemy Comedy Theater in downtown Greenville, SC.
Follow the festival on Facebook for regular updates.
