Founded in 2013 by Mat Alano-Martin and Jared Thompson, with Dwight Simmons joining later, Limestone Comedy Festival quickly became a staple of Bloomington’s cultural calendar. The festival typically runs over a three-day span and brings together a mix of established headliners and up-and-coming comedians across Bloomington venues such as Buskirk-Chumley Theater, Comedy Attic, The Back Door, The Bishop Bar, Blockhouse, and Orbit Room. In 2025, the edition took place May 29–31, featuring 50+ comedians across roughly 16 events, with headliners drawing national attention.
Beyond the festival, Limestone supports the community through High Proof Laughs, a recurring charity show series hosted with Cardinal Spirits since 2017. While the festival announced a break for 2026 on its official site, fans can still anticipate future touring appearances and live stand-up showcases in related venues. For fans planning to attend, we provide on-sale details and verified links to official social media and websites to help you stay connected.
