13 shows. Over 75 performers. Countless laughs. From November 13-17th, improvisers, stand-up comedians, and sketch comedy guests from across North America will converge on Greenville, SC for the 11th 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.
