Blue Ridge Comedy Festival 2025

Welcome to the Blue Ridge Comedy Festival.  We are excited to host our third comedy festival held in beautiful Bristol, TN/VA. 

Please fill out the submission form below for your chance to perform in a ridiculously fun comedy festival.

Unlike previous years, there will be no competitive aspect to the festival, and we will be accepting a smaller number of comics to make the trip to the Southeast worthwhile for everyone. 

Shared lodging will be provided to those accepted to the fest. 

All applicants are invited to join in the fun and will be granted all-access passes should they decide to attend, regardless of their acceptance status. We will have at least one social event, a panel, headshot opportunities, and more that everyone who applies may take advantage of. 

Date

Dec  11 - 14, 2025 

Address

560 English St.

Bristol TN 37620

*$30 submission fee must be paid by Sept. 30 to be eligible. 

 Completing an application does not guarantee a spot in the festival.   All submissions will be reviewed and considered by a committee to ensure a high-quality experience for both comedians and the audience.
