Laughing Skull Comedy Festival

From the venue:

For the eighth year running, 72 comedians from all over the country (and beyond) converge on Atlanta bidding for laughs and first place in the 2017 Laughing Skull Comedy Festival. The ever-growing festival is expanding to a jam-packed eight days this year with showcases spanning across multiple neighborhoods and venues like the Laughing Skull Lounge (duh), Relapse Theatre, Red Brick Brewery, Eddie’s Attic, Village Theatre and Smith’s Olde Bar with the vaunted finals and semi-finals occupying the Buckhead Theatre on May 6. With a whopping 17 homegrown comics securing a spot this year, the odds are looking good that this could be the fifth year in a row a local takes home some glory with a top four finish.
