In the Spotlight today is the 15th Bi-annual LA Comedy Film Festival & Screenplay Competition, creating valuable industry traction for filmmakers and screenwriters skilled at generating big laughs. Hosted in the belly of the entertainment capital of the world, LA Comedy Fest regularly attracts some of the biggest names in comedy and provides ample opportunity for gifted storytellers to share their wares on a prominent platform. Past participants at LA Comedy Fest have gone on to win Last Comic Standing, join the cast of Saturday Night Live, and even snag the Academy Award for Best Short Film.
LA Comedy Fest warmly welcomes all forms of funny, from shorts, television pilots, and sketch comedy to feature-length films and screenplays, animated projects, and music videos. It's all part of the largest film and live comedy festival in the United States -- a celebration frequently attended by representatives from NBC, CBS, ABC, HBO, Comedy Central, CAA, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Worldwide Pants, and other heavyweights throughout the entertainment industry.
In addition to its formidable ability to launch previously unknown talents toward success, LA Comedy has cultivated an impressive lineup of instantly recognizable industry guests, including Henry Winkler, Cheryl Hines, Michael Richards, Cheri Oteri, Fred Willard, Christopher Lloyd, Jon Heder, Jason Alexander, and many, many more.
