The live experience
What reaches the room
The Kitchener Waterloo Comedy Festival (KWCF) has grown from a small, local showcase into a regional celebration of stand-up and humor across multiple venues in downtown Kitchener and Uptown Waterloo. Founded in 2010 by promoter Phil LaConte (Silly Phil) and fellow organizers, KWCF has become a summertime favorite for fans of sharp, diverse comedy. Each year, audiences look forward to bold headliners and a mix of theatres, clubs, and intimate venues that capture the region’s vibrant arts scene.
