September 4-6, 2026 Bend, Oregon

BEND COMEDY FESTIVAL

The Bend Comedy Festival is a nonprofit celebration of stand-up, community, and creativity, happening every Labor Day weekend in beautiful Bend, Oregon.

The 2025 debut was a huge success thanks to you all, nearly every show sold out and downtown Bend was filled with laughter. In 2026, the festival returns even bigger, featuring nationally touring and fan-favorite acts including Geoffrey Asmus, Fahim Anwar, Cristina Mariani, and improv powerhouse ASSSSCAT, along with the best up and coming comedians from across the country.

Bend Comedy Festival is presented by the Bend Comedy and Arts Foundation, a queer and woman led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building community through comedy and the arts.

“Wow! Hard to come up with words for how incredible this experience was. I didn’t know what to expect at a comedy festival it exceeded everything I could imagine. One of the best weekends of my life!”

- Ciarra B.

“We had a blast. We bought a Festival Pass which made it really easy to go between the different venues and events. It was a nice mixture of comedy (sketch, variety, stand up, etc.) so you didn't get tired of it being just one genre. They brought in comics from outside the area which is nice for those of us who go to comedy in Bend and Portland. It was hard to believe it was the first year because it was super well organized. Can't wait for next year!”

- Susana S.

“Great event! What an awesome amount of planning and attention to detail for a first year event! My girlfriend and I went full send and got the all access pass—worth every penny. We caught 80% of the shows. So many great acts, I can hardly wait to see how it grows.”

- Josiah H.
