Sonoma Laughfest is our way of bringing some of the fun we loved in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago to Sonoma County. One usually has to go into a major city to see this level of talent do these kindsa shows and we thought that was bullcrap. We’ve made a lot of friends here in Sonoma and found that the culture here is rich if you are. We are not, so here’s something kickass, yet affordable – a 3 night comedy binge-watch. Pack in the fun. Live your life! … and don’t drive into the city, try to park, pay to park, and all that headache and time-suck. It’s so easy, guys. We like easy.
Our comedy friends are killin’ it, appearing on TV shows like Parks & Recreation, Key and Peele, How I Met Your Mother, Blunt Talk, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Brooklyn 99, Modern Family, The Birthday Boys, Orange Is the New Black, Silicon Valley, Garfunkel & Oats, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Full House, and in these movies: Jurassic World, Ghostbusters (the new one), and more. We’re equally as thrilled bring you amazing Bay Area/San Francisco talent! Let’s do this!
