The festival opening show kicks off on Thursday, August 22, at the Biltmore Cabaret, where local comedian Aaron Read will try and host a stand-up comedy show alongside his real-life roommate, GORBMAN.

The four-day festival, curated by Tin Lorica, Nima Gholamipour, Kirsten Hatfield and Cole Pauls, will showcase everything from live comedy, art shows, and artist talks to comedy DJ sets — and so much more.
