LouFest adds comedy lineup

LouFest is partnering with 'We Are Live!' for the "Laugh Laugh" comedy stage.

ST. LOUIS – For the first time ever, LouFest is adding a comedy lineup to this year’s festival.

The annual music festival runs from Sept. 8 through the 9 and will feature a comedy-specific stage produced by local entertainment and media company.

LouFest is partnering with ‘We Are Live!’ for the “Laugh Laugh” comedy stage.

Last Laugh will feature live comedy beginning at 2pm. Saturday’s lineup includes local comics Stephon Hightower, Angela Smith, Chris Cyr, Duke Taylor, Nathan Orton and national headliners Matt Rife (“Wild ‘N Out”) and Mia Jackson (“Last Comic Standing,” “Inside Amy Schumer”).

Sunday’s lineup includes local comics Emily Hickner, Bobby Jaycox, Kenny Kinds, Tina Dybal, Rafe Williams and national headliner Taylor Tomlinson (Nexflix “The Comedy Lineup,” “The Tonight Show”).

“St Louis has a great comedy scene and its growing all the time,” said Chris Denman, Co-Founder of We Are Live! “This city draws huge national names and supports multiple comedy clubs. You can find an open mic or local comedy showcase most nights of the week. Each year, LouFest throws an amazing party with the music, beer and food we all love. Obviously, St Louis also loves comedy. That’s why we’re leveraging our network of national and local comedic relationships to add some laughs to the lineup. We hope people check it out. Last Laugh will be set up right beside Brewfest, making it easy to support St Louis beer and comedy all at the same time.”

“We are always trying to come up with ways to move the festival forward in regards to programming,” said Mike Van Hee, Managing Partner of Listen Live Entertainment. “The comedy scene in St. Louis has taken off over the past few years, and we are excited to have them join our lineup and show our audience all the great comedic talent St. Louis has to offer.”
