Dear Friends and Festival Supporters,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Orlando Comedy Festival. As you may be aware, the recent hurricane has had a significant impact on our community, and the safety and well-being of our attendees, performers, and staff must always be our top priority.
After assessing the damage and ongoing concerns in the area, including power outages, flooding, and transportation disruptions, we have determined that moving forward with the event would not only put people at risk but also detract from the recovery efforts happening across the state of Florida. The safety of our community comes first, and we feel it is not the right time to gather for a celebration while many are still facing the challenges caused by this natural disaster.
We understand the disappointment this decision may bring, especially for those who have been looking forward to the festival. However, we hope you will stand with us in recognizing that health, safety, and recovery efforts are of utmost importance right now. Our thoughts are with all those affected by the storm, and we encourage everyone to take the necessary precautions and support each other during this difficult time.
If you have a reservation for a room, the Resort has stated they will give a full refund on your reservation. Anyone that bought tickets for shows or workshops will be refunded. I have personally called everyone that did not already cancel their appearance, many went to voicemail; I am sending this email along with making changes to the Facebook page and website. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know.
We are grateful for the love and support the festival has always received from this wonderful community, and we look forward to bringing laughter back next year as we celebrate our 10th year of love, joy and laughter.
Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe.
Warm regards,
Matt Gervia
