Orlando Indie Comedy Fest Will Feature Kyle Kinane
Orlando’s got a brand new indie comedy festival coming this September! The Inaugural Orlando Indie Comedy Festival will run four nights, from Thursday, Sept. 25 until Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014, and comedian Kyle Kinane has been announced as the festival’s headliner. Here it is by the numbers. Four days. Nine Venues. 15 showcases. 40 comics.
Tickets aren’t on sale just yet, you’re going to have to wait till August 1 at noon to grab tickets, but you’ll want to make absolutely sure you add the dates of the inaugural Orlando Indie Comedy festival, and save the date that tickets go on sale. You might even want to set an alarm for 11:45 on August 1, (yes, wake up early). Why? Because the pass costs only $25, admits you to every single showcase of the entire festival, and there are only 200 passes available. There will be standby tickets available for any of the showcases that don’t completely fill with pass-holders, but you can’t count on those. With $25 getting you into 15 shows to see 40 comics, you can expect these 200 passes will sell out fast. So for realz, set your alarm and plan to wake up early– before noon– to grab tickets on August 1.
If you’ve ever wanted to see what else Orlando has to offer, the festival will be taking place in 3 Orlando neighborhoods including Winter Park, the Milk District, and Mills 50.
