Covid-19 may have taken Limestone Comedy Festival 2020 from us, but we can still celebrate three amazing comedians who were set to make their LCF feature debuts! Join us in celebrating the blood, sweat & tears of Shanda Sung, Mark Bookwalter & Emil Wakim! The path to being selected to the most prestigious comedy festival in the midwest (and one of the best comedy festivals in the country) is a grueling process- it's an honor to present the hard work these three have put in to comedy and to be able to present these shows!

PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY!

While we're excited to present this new option, we would like to go over a few things:

Please purchase the number of seats that corresponds to the number of people who will be viewing the show. This of course will help offset the understandable lack of in person attendance. We love the comedy community here in town and trust that you will do the right thing! If you're feeling super generous, feel free to purchase even more than you need. This will go a long way in helping us return to normal (whenever that may be)!

We've had many people inquire about how to help the staff while viewing the show at home. We've added a donation button to your purchase- feel free to add however much money you feel that you would have spent on tipping them in person. Obviously none of this is mandatory and no one will judge you if you just buy one seat and don't add anything- it's just there for those who want it!

Once you purchase your tickets, your confirmation email with include your zoom login and password. Starting at 7pm EST, the waiting room will open and we'll pass you through into the show to get the full Comedy Attic experience!
