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!
Running from October 2–4, 2025, the fourth annual festival will take over The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, showcasing the best and brightest Latina/x/e stand-up comedians from across North America. And for the first time ever, the festival is opening its arms—and its stage—to Spanish-language performers, making this year’s celebration more inclusive and electric than ever before.
How to Apply
Applications are open now through June 30, 2025, with a $35 regular submission fee. All applicants must submit a video of a professional performance (in English, Spanish, or both) and demonstrate prior performance experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned comic or a rising star, this is your chance to join a powerhouse lineup of Latina talent, connect with fellow performers, and be part of a movement that’s redefining comedy—one punchline at a time.
Why It Matters
Since its humble beginnings in 2022, the Latina Comedy Festival has grown from a single sold-out showcase to a multi-day event with seven showcases and hundreds of attendees. It’s more than a festival—it’s a platform, a community, and a celebration of culture, identity, and unapologetic humor.
