About Martha's Vineyard Comedy

Martha’s Vineyard, renowned as the summer haven for icons like the Obamas, Clintons, and Spike Lee, is synonymous with beachside leisure, luxury, and unforgettable memories. Now, laughter has joined the list of Martha’s Vineyard traditions, thanks to the annual Martha’s Vineyard Comedy Fest.

Martha’s Vineyard Comedy Fest is a vibrant celebration of African American humor, timed to coincide with Black Comedy Month, bringing together the brightest and boldest Black comedians from across the nation.

The Comedy Fest is a pioneering concept on the island, one that blends high-profile talent with the idyllic charm  of Martha’s Vineyard, solidifying it as one of the premier summer attractions.

Over the past 13 years, the Comedy Fest has achieved an impressive track record—selling out in 8 of those years and drawing nearly 14,000 attendees. It has become a highly anticipated event, a must-visit for affluent African Americans nationwide. But this is more than entertainment; the Martha’s Vineyard Comedy Fest is a cultural celebration and a testament to the healing power of laughter, nourishing the mind, body, and soul with every show.
