OMAHA COMEDY FEST - Sept. 24-26, 2026

Sept. 24-26, 2026

Omaha Comedy Fest brings established and emerging comedians together for a weekend that’s part showcase, part training ground, part really good time. 

Founded in 2013 by Dylan Rohde and powered by an all-volunteer team of passionate comedians, this grassroots festival continues to prove that fun happens here just for fun.

The weekend is packed full of nightly shows, panels, and workshops for comedians at every level — and fans who want a look behind the curtain.

Past performers include Amber Ruffin, Beth Stelling, Amy Miller, #IMomSoHard, TJ and Dave (Kids in the Hall), Jay Jurden, Epic Rap Battles of History, 3Peat, Holy Shit Improv, and many more. 

Oh, we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, if you’re interested in supporting fun, workshops, and comedy programming in Omaha, drop us a line.

“The Omaha Comedy Festival went above and beyond to welcome me to their city. They made sure I knew about Omaha’s unique attractions (raccoon restaurant?!), brought in the most joyous comedy fans and provided a beautiful venue. They really made it possible for all the comics on the fest to connect. Those are just a few reasons I can’t wait to come back.
