Mar 28, 2018 - Mar 29, 2019

The 5-day comedy festival is back with more talent than ever — 213 performers, 46 shows/panels/podcasts and five stages. Multi-day badges for March 26-30 are offered for $160, and individual show ($10-$15) times and and locations are on the event website. The festival features comedians, improvisation and sketch and comedy teams.

Headliners include: Rory Scovel, Daniel Van Kirk, Jaime Moyer and Maribeth Monroe. See full lineup at dallascomedyfestival.com.

Free shows:
— Wednesday at 10:30, an "anything goes" hour of comedy featuring festival performers doing bits.
— Thursday at 10:30, watch comedians present a slideshows they've never seen before.

Some highlights of the festival include:
Tuesday night features a JELL-O shot tasting of this year’s festival flavors.
Wednesday is Texas Night, with all comedians having roots in Texas. Paul Varghese - Dallas’ comedy sweetheart - headlines the 10:30 stand-up show closing out the night.
Local comedians Christie Wallace and Heather McKinney of Sinisterhood will record their murder and conspiracy theory-laden podcast live on Saturday evening.
Join DCF Saturday night for a block of improv comedy performed by all LGBTQ+ performers. This night will feature Dallas’ Let’s Get Busy Tonight interactive improv show and Austin’s Hail to the Queen, an improvised comedy drag show.
Saturday night is a big one with 86 the Bar. The Dallas Comedy House will be moving in early April to a new home (across the parking lot) and the bar at DCH needs to be cleared out as much as possible. With countdowns and tracking of all the bar has to offer, there will be much to celebrate as the bottles run empty until 2 a.m. After clearing out the Dallas Comedy House bar, festival attendees and performers can head to the Hangover Brunch at Independent Bar and Kitchen where all badge holders will receive 10 percent off their bill.
