For four days, November 12-15, 2026, the Delmar Loop becomes St. Louis's comedy capital — national headliners, breakout acts, and late-night showcases on stages up and down the strip.
What started as a scrappy showcase now spans the whole Loop — a walkable festival where your ticket is a stroll between rooms.
A rough shape of the festival — the full lineup drops each September. Times and rooms vary by show.
The festival kicks off with a marquee set in the Loop's biggest room, followed by an opening-night party next door.
Themed showcases and stand-up blocks run back-to-back — walk from room to room and catch as much as you can.
The busiest day: big-name sets in the evening and irreverent late-night shows that run past midnight.
Easygoing daytime sets and a closing showcase to send everyone home sore from laughing.
The 2,000-capacity flagship — home to the biggest headliner sets of the weekend.
The 750-cap room next door, ideal for showcases and mid-size sets.
The legendary basement club hosts intimate late-night stand-up.
Pop-up sets and open mics spill into bars and cafés up and down the strip.
Snapshots from the Loop and past Flyover festivals.
Both. A festival pass gets you into every show all weekend, but you can also buy tickets to individual sets if there's just one act you want to catch.
Daytime and early sets are generally all-ages, but many late-night shows are 18+ or 21+. Each listing notes its age policy.
On foot. Every venue is within a short walk along Delmar Boulevard — that's the whole idea. MetroLink drops you right at the Delmar Loop station.
The full lineup typically drops in September, ahead of the November festival. Sign up below to get it in your inbox first.
