The spotlight is ready, the mic is hot, and the stage is set—Latina Comedy Festival 2025 is officially accepting performer applications, and this year promises to be bigger, bolder, and bilingual!
Las Locas Comedy kicked off 2025 with a powerhouse lineup of shows that continue to spotlight Latina and BIPOC voices in Chicago’s comedy scene. From packed monthly Chingona Comedy Hours at the Laugh Factory to a buzzing Sabado Night Laughs at Surge Logan Square, the first half of the year has been full of laughs, love, and community. Highlights include their 8th anniversary celebration in February and a successful fundraiser in April for the upcoming 4th Annual Latina Comedy Festival this fall. Las Locas is proving once again that comedy can be both hilarious and unapologetically empowering.
The Latina Comedy Festival is back and bigger than ever, announcing its 4th annual festival with an exciting new partnership with The Lincoln Lodge, Chicago’s premier independent, non-profit comedy club. For the first time, the festival will take place exclusively at The Lincoln Lodge from October 2-4, 2025, solidifying its place as the nation’s leading comedy festival dedicated to Latina comedic voices.
