Montclair Comedy Festival

Everyone knows Montclair is one of New Jersey’s cultural gems — packed with art, music, food, and festivals galore. But we noticed one thing was missing: Comedy!

Montclair is just a short mic drop away from New York City — the comedy capital of the country (the world?) — so we thought: Why not bring it all together?

That’s how the Montclair Comedy Festival — a celebration of laughs, talent, and community — was born, right here in Montclair.

The festival will showcase so many flavors of funny: stand-up, improv, sketch, musical comedy, character work, storytelling, and family-friendly shows, featuring rising stars and seasoned pros alike.
