What does your content guidance signify?
Our Content Guidance Key has been designed to give you an overall sense of the content of festival events and shows you might enjoy at LaughFest. Beyond Family Friendly rated events, these ratings are not a guarantee of adherence to them by LaughFest’s artists, as material is often subjective and open to personal preferences and individual discernment of those in the audience as to where on the clean/appropriate spectrum a show falls. To learn more, please visit our content guidance page.
May I record video or audio of a show?
Please do not record video or audio without prior permission—those jokes are copyrighted material that belongs to the performer. Unless otherwise posted or communicated, it’s fine to snap a few photos for Instagram within the first two minutes of an artist’s performance but please do not use a flash, block the view of other audience members, or do anything that might disrupt the show. Once a show begins, we seriously encourage you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
What time do doors open for performances?
If you are attending the first show of the night at a venue, doors generally will open one hour before showtime. After that, typically doors will open 30 minutes prior to showtime. While we strive for this timeline, actual times may vary by venue.
Where do I send my press request?
If you are interested in seeking press credentials or would like to interview a staff or program member for a feature or a breaking story, please contact: Tyler Lecceadone, SeyferthPR at 616.776.3511 or [email protected].
