An annual summer comedy festival that brings the top comedians to Nantucket to benefit Stand Up & Learn™

The Nantucket Comedy Festival returns for another summer of laughter, bringing top comedic talent to the island for a weekend of unforgettable performances. Kicking off on Thursday, July 10, the festival opens with a showcase featuring nationally recognized comedians delivering sharp wit and hilarious insights. Whether you're planning a night out with friends or a fun date night, this event sets the tone for a weekend of comedy at its best.

 

As a major fundraiser for Stand Up & Learn™ (SUL)—a year-round educational program that teaches kids life skills through comedy—the festival is proud to highlight young performers. On Friday, July 11, the talented SUL Kids take the stage at the White Heron Theatre for a free, family-friendly show showcasing their comedic skills developed throughout the year.

 

That same evening, the festival introduces a special event celebrating comedy from around the world, featuring an international lineup of comedians delivering their unique perspectives and styles. This exciting addition brings global humor to Nantucket, ensuring a night of diverse and dynamic performances.

 

The festival wraps up on Saturday, July 12, with its signature comedy SmACKdown, where comedians from Boston and New York go head-to-head in a hilarious, fast-paced competition. Officiated by Emmy Award Winner Bob Ley from ESPN, this high-energy event is a fan favorite and always delivers big laughs.
