Y’all musta thought we dropped the mic for good.
Heck nah…we were just recharging for the 25th Anniversary Reboot.
Laffapalooza! is about to reboot baby - and it's gonna hit different
Kicking butt, and bustin’ gut, from our humble beginnings in Atlanta (we love y’all ATL!), to now, worldwide…
We began our journey together with Jamie Foxx (Cheers, Foxx!) and a few other notable comedians…

LAFFAPALOOZA!, is famously known for bringing wall-to-wall laughs to the people, killer lineups, and an unmatched kind of energy that could only come from the best in the game. Back then, LAFFAPALOOZA! was pulling more than 50,000 people annually to its shows, with millions more watching at home on Showtime, Comedy Central, and TBS. Yeah, we did that.
It’s necessary: With everything that’s going on in the world, we are going to make sure everyone gets their proper laugh-therapy session because these are some pretty wild times. If the world ever needed a reason to laugh, it’s now — and we’ve got plenty to go around. The lineup’s will be stacked, and the world’s going to get what it’s been missing.
So, get ready, and strap in, because the comedy game is about to get a serious remix and it is, literally, going to be straight jacket crazy!
Y’all really musta thought we dropped the mic forever. But, nah. See what had happened was… we were just charging it up!
LAFFAPALOOZA!, the OG comedy festival that changed the game is gearing up for its next act, and trust us, it’s gonna be a whole mood. Some of the biggest names in stand-up comedy? Yep. Many of them got their first shine here, live on stages in Atlanta and Las Vegas. But this time, we’re taking it global.
Remember the late ’90s, when LAFFAPALOOZA! wasn’t just a comedy festival - but THE comedy festival to be at? A four-day ATL takeover where every stage was hotter than a Waffle House grill at 3 a.m. But don’t get it twisted—this reboot isn’t just about vintage nostalgia, it's a level-up. It’s about pushing boundaries, making space for fresh voices, new faces. We’re still all about what made LAFFAPALOOZA! special: putting those voices that are most under-represented in the spotlight and using humor to uplift.
