Every spring, Halifax erupts in laughter as comedians from all over North America hit the stage for the Ha!ifax ComedyFest.
Held over 4 days, the festival showcases over 30 comedians with multiple shows across the city, including several shows taped for CBC and CBC Gem, one of only three major comedy festivals broadcast nationally during prime-time hours on CBC Television as part of a six-episode series.
Ha!ifax ComedyFest began in 1995 promoting and showcasing talent from the Atlantic Provinces in the clubs in downtown Halifax.
Thirty years later, the festival boasts multiple shows in various venues across the city and international headlining artists.
As one of the most successful and longest-running comedy festivals in Canada, Ha!ifax ComedyFest is a must-attend event in Halifax.
