Volcanic Theatre Pub & 1988 Entertainment Presents: Bend Comedy Festival Labor Day Weekend: September 4th – 6th 2026 The Bend Comedy Festival is a nonprofit celebration of stand-up, community, and creativity, happening every Labor Day weekend in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Year one was a huge success thanks to you all! We sold out nearly every show and filled Bend with laughter. The festival featured 20+ events at venues throughout Bend including Midtown Ballroom, Volcanic Theatre Pub, The Capitol, and more bringing together audiences from across the region. Bend Comedy Festival is presented by the Bend Comedy and Arts Foundation, a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every donation made and ticket sold supports future arts events in the community. Whether you’re a longtime fan or brand new to stand-up, we can’t wait to share the next chapter with you.
