About the application
Williamsburg, Virginia - January 28-31, 2027
The Last Word Comedy Festival aspires to grow their positive community of diverse performers from around the country, and is seeking enthusiastic acts to get involved with its fourth annual event. Interested acts may submit for consideration in performing at the 2027 festival.
Selected performers will be offered stage time in the festival (usually 10-15 minutes for standup). In exchange, performers will receive a Performer’s Pass good for free standby access to festival shows. Performers will have the opportunity to upgrade their Performer’s Pass to a regular Festival Pass for a nominal fee. The Festival Pass does not cover admission to the Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood headliner act on January 30. Submitting performers will not be financially compensated and are responsible for their own transportation and lodging for the festival.
The early bird application fee is $15 for standup acts submitted by 10:00 PM (EST) on October 28, and $20 for acts submitted by the regular deadline of 10:00 PM (EST) on November 11. The festival reserves the right to close the submission process prior to the final deadline if necessary given the quantity of entries received.
Please note official communications for the festival will be emailed to you through the Eventeny platform - please be sure to keep an eye on your email's spam folder and add Eventeny to your accepted sender list to ensure you receive future updates.
