Crosstown Comedy Festival | GABE KEA

Bombs Away! Comedy and Commonwealth Sanctuary are proud to present the Inaugural Crosstown Comedy Festival, a comedy contest and celebration of the best comedians from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, and across the country to compete to win the Festival. Join us each week on Fridays at Commonwealth Sanctuary and Saturdays at Bombs Away! Comedy @ The Comet as we laugh and celebrate local comedy.

Each Round the audience will vote for their favorite Rookie and Veteran Comedians to move on to the next round. Comedians that move on will perform at the other participating venue in the next round. The Finals are August 30th at Commonwealth Sanctuary, and the Best of Fest featuring the best non finalists in the contest is on August 31st. Both shows are headlined by Daniel Van Kirk. The Winners will receive a cash prize and future bookings at both comedy clubs. Winning comedians each round will be decided by a combination of audience vote and judges scores.
