In 2013, Dylan Rohde, founder and owner of The Backline Comedy Theater, started the Omaha Improv Fest to share his love of improv comedy with Omaha. Year by year this grassroots festival grew by leaps and bounds. After 2019 it was rebranded as the Omaha Comedy Fest as more and more eclectic comedic talent sought out this midwestern Mecca of comedy. This year will be the Fest’s most ambitious year with plans to showcase over 70 acts all over the Omaha metro area. 

This festival cannot work without the support of the community. We can’t wait to host you and share our city with you.
