Morton Theatre to host Athens Comedy Fest

From ACC Leisure Services:

Since 2022, comics have been creating their own opportunities and culture in the Classic City. In the wake of the pandemic locals began rebuilding their scene in Athens rock and roll fashion by starting open mics and showcases in partnership with local venues across the city.

The "Athens Comedy Fest" is set for Thursday, April 30 and Friday, May 1 at 7:00 p.m. at the Morton Theatre. Ticket prices range from $25 - $65. Tickets may be purchased online.

These shows started a movement that has created a rich comedy culture in Athens. The "Athens Comedy Fest" now elevates the comedy scene to the next level with national headliners, touring comedians, and standout local talent.
