Crosstown Comedy Festival | SAM RAGER

Bombs Away! Comedy and Commonwealth Sanctuary are proud to present the Crosstown Comedy Festival, a comedy contest and celebration of the best comedians from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, and across the country to compete to win the Festival. Join us each week on Thursdays at Commonwealth Sanctuary and Saturdays at Bombs Away! Comedy @ The Comet as we laugh and celebrate local comedy.

Each Round the audience will vote for their favorite Rookie and Veteran Comedians to move on to the next round. Comedians that move on will perform at the other participating venue in the next round. The Finals are August 29th at Commonwealth Sanctuary, and the Best of Fest featuring the best non finalists in the contest is on August 30th. Both shows are headlined by Marcella Arguello. The Winners will receive a cash prize and future bookings at both comedy clubs. Winning comedians each round will be decided by a combination of audience vote and judges scores.

This Event is at Bombs Away! Comedy @ The Comet | 4579 Hamilton Ave.

The heart and soul of Bombs Away! Comedy lies within the legendary, storied music venue known as The Comet. For 30 years, The Comet has been an iconic locale for music across every imaginable genre, and now hosts two Bombs Away! Comedy shows every Saturday night. If you’ve ever wanted to be the person who is able to say, “I saw them back when…,” these shows are the place to do it.

Reserve your tickets for an offbeat date, an unconventional night out with friends, and see some of America’s best comedy acts in an intimate setting. The Comet is a Northside institution featuring giant burritos, easy street parking with ample lighting, and a staggering selection of spirits and local craft beverages. If you’re not already hip to this staple in Cincinnati nightlife, join us!

Her debut album, Trigger Warning* is available on iTunes and Google Play.
