      Realizing that life is better when we laugh, organizers began the San Gabriel Valley Comedy Festival last year and returns for Year Two from August 23-29, 2026.

      By Melanie Hooks

      Enjoy multiple performances every day from stand-up comedians, special events, and rising stars from across the country. Hosted at Astronaut City Comedy Club & Karaoke Bar, 1037 S. Baldwin Ave., tickets are available for $23/show.

      The festival includes live comedy showcases, comedy competitions, industry networking opportunities, and special events for comedy fans.

      The comedy festival website lists the detailed schedule. Through this Sunday the 23rd, All-Access Passes sell for $99, which secures entry to all fourteen shows; after that, the price jumps to $149. From Sunday, August 23 through Saturday, August 29, two shows/night feature packed line-ups at 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

      Headliners include Brian Kiley, Aparna Nancherla, Ahmed Bharoocha, Pk, Kiki Yeung, Sally Mullins, Erik Escobar, Tony Vinh, Hans Sardo, Alex Durazzo, Matt Kinney, and New Joke City.

      When it’s so hot you’ve lost your good humor, the comedians are here (in air conditioning) to resuscitate it.
