Greensboro Comedy Festival Tickets

The Greensboro Comedy Festival is North Carolina's dynamic celebration of stand-up, improv, and sketch comedy. Founded by Jennie Stencel in collaboration with The Idiot Box, the festival traces its roots to the NC Comedy Festival launched around 2018. With a commitment to showcasing regional talent and touring comedians from across North America, the festival has grown into a broader NC tour that has graced venues in Greensboro and Winston-Salem. The primary hub for 2025 is The Idiot Box Comedy Club in Greensboro, a dedicated stage for multi-day performances and intimate showcases.
