Coalition Theater is now accepting submissions for its 2nd 2nd Best Comedy Fest.

The festival which featured shows and classes from improv groups from different cities will be held June 16th to the 18th and the comedy organization is looking for some talent!

Workshops and national acts from Chicago, New York, Charleston and other cities brought their best form of comedy to the stage. Chris Trew, the man behind the Air Sex Championships was also on the bill. Read more about last year’s festival here.

This year, the festival is looking to add more teams, another venue and get even crazier!

Submissions are now open for all improv acts and will close March, 15. Teams will be notified of their acceptance in mid-April. You can submit for the comedy festival here.
