Mainers

We want you to be part of the festival. This festival was built by Mainers, is run by Mainers, and could not survive without the support of the local community.

This year, we are highly encouraging, Mainers and those deeply involved in Maine’s comedy scene to apply to the festival as a volunteer. Volunteers will get onstage, have free access to shows - all the perks of applying to perform without the submission fee or anxiety of waiting for an acceptance.

Those who choose to apply through submission of a tape will be put through the same judging process as all other comedians applying to perform. If you are not selected as a performer, you can still volunteer after the fact.

We can’t make this festival happen without you.

Please send Greg or Stephen a message at portlandmainecomedyfest@gmail.com with any questions.
