Laugh your way through Columbus Day weekend at Rogue Island Comedy Festival, the area's bi-annual comedy festival featuring five days of socially distanced comedy shows on Thursday, October 7 - Monday, October 11. Shows will take place at three locations this season: Ragged Island Brewing Co., Jane Pickens Theater, and The Wayfinder Hotel.

The fall festival will feature a line up of nationally and locally acclaimed comics previously featured on prominent platforms including Conan, Comedy Central, HBO, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and more.

Created and produced by native Rhode Islanders Doug Key and Katie Latimer, the Rogue Island Comedy Festival is Rhode Island’s only stand-up comedy festival.

COVID-19 NOTE:

When you're ready, we can't wait to welcome you back to The Classic Coast. Rest assured, the safety and well-being of both visitors and locals remains our top priority. The mask mandate requiring face coverings in Rhode Island has been lifted, however local businesses may ask you to wear a mask when visiting their establishments. Please be prepared for individual business mask policies. Additionally, shops, attractions and tours are monitoring the number of guests at any given time and may ask you to socially distance to enter.

All we ask when you land on these shores is that you play your part in keeping everyone safe. Please be kind, adhere to guidelines and maintain social distancing.
