Spanning multiple nights and venues, Hell Yes Fest has been the Gulf South’s largest comedy festival since 2011 celebrating a diverse lineup of acts from around the world every November.
Submission info
In addition to stand-up, sketch, and improv comedy submissions we’d also love to hear about your specialty format show, your live podcast, or your idea for a bizarre competition. We pride ourselves on curating a brand new festival experience every year and can’t wait to see your weird pitches.
Keep in mind we also use your submission for bookings year round in the New Orleans area. Hell Yes Fest is the main event but if we feel you’re a good fit for one of our mini-fests in the New Orleans area we’ll let you know! There’s also plenty of local showcases year-round and we’d be happy to connect you with show runners.
Submissions are now closed.
