10,000 LAUGHS happening
OCTOBER 12-14, 2023

We’re returning for our 11th year October 12-14! 10,000 Laughs is a comic-centered, artist-run stand up comedy festival with heart. Or well what used to be a heart before we spent 11 years producing comedy festivals.

Since 2011, 10,000 Laughs has been bringing national headliners and unknown talent together for three October days to make Twin Cities audiences laugh their little tushies off. With 20+ shows and nearly 80 comedians, it’s a comedy festival unlike anything else in Minnesota!


2023 Partners

We love having fun here at 10,000 Laughs, but we can tell you one serious thing here: our festival wouldn’t exist without the amazing partners we have that support the festival year in and year out.
