Bend Comedy Festival

The Bend Comedy Festival is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded and run by a women and queer-led team dedicated to growing the comedic arts in Central Oregon. Our mission is to create an unforgettable festival that elevates diverse voices, from emerging local comics to nationally recognized headliners, while fostering an inclusive, welcoming community in Bend. As part of that commitment, we set aside free festival passes and show tickets for local nonprofits and the communities they serve, ensuring cost is never a barrier to sharing in the laughs.
