LA Diversity in Comedy Festival

The Second City's 2020 fifth annual, Diversity in Comedy Festival is a 4-day festival taking place on October 15, 16, 17, & 18. LADCF will feature diverse performers in the realm of sketch, improv, stand-up, original pilots, and video shorts, through performances, reading, viewing, panels, and workshops. Locations for the 2020 festival are at The Second City Hollywood on the following sponsored stages, 3 Arts Stage, NBC Stage, and Nickeloden Stage. 2020 is an exciting year for LADCF, as we're introducing two new ways to participate with Original Pilots being chosen and read on stage, and 2-10min Comedy Shorts viewings, sponsored by The Second City's Harold Ramis Film School! Who qualifies as "diverse"? We feel that diversity extends to any group of underrepresented cultural voices- this could be based on gender, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. If you believe your comedic voice is underrepresented and reflects your unique background...apply!
