Nantucket Comedy Festival

This three day festival kicks off on Thursday July 11th with a fantastic show featuring four national headlining comedians. The theme, Love & Laughter, offers a lighthearted take on the highs and lows of romantic relationships. The Nantucket Comedy Festival benefits Stand Up & Learn, which aims to foster confidence, creativity, and laughter among island children through comedy workshops. So you know you’re chuckling for a good cause!

On Friday July 12th, you can watch children from Nantucket and our rival island, Martha’s Vineyard, face off in competition for the Island Comedy Cup. Their material and charm is sure to delight! Or if you prefer, you can opt to attend Legends of Comedy. Your host Don Gavin will guide you through this night featuring some of the nation’s most seasoned comedians.
