This November, Astronaut City proudly launches the first-ever San Gabriel Valley Comedy Festival — a multi-day celebration of laughter, community, and rising comedic talent. Each night, audiences will experience a fresh lineup featuring up-and-coming comics and established stars, all sharing the stage in an intimate, high-energy setting right in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. From sharp observational humor to bold experimental sets, the festival brings together a diverse mix of voices that reflect the humor, grit, and heart of our local scene.

What makes the SGV Comedy Festival unique is its interactive competition — where audiences help shape the outcome. Each show, spectators cast votes for their favorite performer, while a panel of guest judges selects their top pick of the night. At the festival’s finale, two champions will be crowned: the Audience Favorite and the Judges’ Choice — with the chance for one exceptional comic to win both titles with a grand prize of $2,000. Whether you’re discovering the next big name in comedy or just coming for the laughs, the San Gabriel Valley Comedy Festival is your ticket to be part of local comedy history.
