2 NIGHTS. 6 SHOWS. 30+ Comics. Downtown Paris. March 26-27, 2021
A LETTER FROM THE CHIEF......
Dear Festival attendees, sponsors and participants,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your patience as we have been waiting to see what the Covid Climate is and how it will effect our 3rd annual Tower City Comedy Festival. From the start we committed to not doing it virtually and if need be we would push it off.
At this time we feel, with the proper protection and following basic CDC protocol we can safely put together the festival in a smaller manner than we had in the past. Unfortunately that means less amenities, but we will do all we can to accommodate everyone and make sure it’s a great time.
Our selections will be posted on our website and Facebook page within the next week or so. If the notice is too short we understand. If you are selected to perform for this year’s festival and feel you can’t make it or just are not ready, you are automatically accepted for the 2022 festival.
This has been a trying year for all of us, and we are committed to do what we can to bring a worthwhile festival to you.
Thanks for your support,
Daryl Felsberg

Quirky and lovable, Fairbanks was our first. His Conan appearance is one of our top 10. His style is not replicable.
