About the Festival

2018 is the first year of the Plano Comedy Festival, founded to support the rapidly growing comedy community in the North Texas Area as well as highlight some great Plano born and raised Comedians. 

PCF aspires to cultivate an active scene of stand-up comedians where performers can hone their craft, create new and exciting comedy, and foster an inviting environment for both audiences and fellow performers. In future years, the festival may expand to additionally accommodate improvisers and sketch performers.
