New South Comedy Festival

16 shows. 7 workshops. Over 100 performers. Countless laughs. From November 4-9th, improvisers, stand-up comedians, and sketch comedy guests from across the United States will converge on Greenville, SC for the 13th Annual New South Comedy Festival.

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.
