2007, the Festival's inaugural season, saw the entire cast of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Lorne Elliott, Irwin Barker, Erica Sigurdson, and Steve Patterson take the City by storm - 5 sold out shows and rave reviews! 2008 offered five nights, more variety, in bigger venues - with the Gala moving to Mile One!

This year, to reflect our exciting new Title-Partnership with Newfoundland Screech Rum, we introduce a new name: the Newfoundland Screech Comedy Festival. It's a perfect fit! Comedy and Screech carry the same message in this Province - good times/ fun times. We look forward to growing and expanding together.

The organizers expect this year's Festival to be another rave success. It will occupy five days jam-packed with top entertainment. From June 10-14, it will feature the Trailer Park Boys, a two-day stand-up comedy workshop, Open Mic Night and a special one-of-a kind Shaun Majumder/Mark Critch Show. A new Nasty Night has been added, as has a show featuring the recording of three episodes of CBC Radio's The Debaters. The sure-sellout Sunday GALA will be hosted by our own Cathy Jones.

The Newfoundland Screech Comedy Fest is co-produced by Pete Soucy, Leo Furey and Terri Andrews. Advertising/Sponsorship, and all other inquiries can be forwarded to info@newscreechcomedyfest.com
