Lady Laughs Philly Comedy Festival
Coming the Week of August 17-23, 2026!
Philly's only monthly comedy show featuring
ALL women and queer performers!
“Lady Laughs has given me one of the best platforms I’ve had as a comic. The audiences are smart, socially aware, and ready to laugh, plus it’s an inclusive space that doesn’t sacrifice fun for message. Performing there has felt safe, supportive, and genuinely joyful, and has played a big part in building my traction as a lady comic in Philly.”
-Ebony Moore
At Lady Laughs Philly, we believe that laughter, creativity, and community should be accessible to everyone. In an industry that has traditionally sidelined women and queer comics, we’re committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and respectful environment that reflects the diverse communities of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.
While we intentionally center women and queer comics, our open mic is open to everyone.
Through humor, connection, and courage, we work to break down barriers, amplify underrepresented perspectives, and make our stage a place where everyone belongs. We believe: Black lives matter, trans people exist, abortion is healthcare, women’s rights are human rights, and no one is illegal on stolen land.
