2025 Festival May 29 - June 1
LGBTLOL
QUEER COMEDY FEST
Is an annual event in New Orleans – where queer-identifying comedians from around the country can come together and be hilarious.
THIS PROJECT IS DEDICATED TO
Inclusivity
Intersectionality
Representation
& Big Gay Giggles.
What's Next?
Apart from the Festival, which takes place annually during Pride Month, we also produce shows year-round that support the festival and spotlight LGBTQIA+ talent from across the Gulf Coast and beyond.
Selection Policy
In keeping with the tradition of LGBTLOL, the number of 2024 applicants accepted is based on the generosity of sponsor support. Unlike many festivals, every LGBTLOL performer is paid for their time and talent on stage. Our funds are generated from partner contributions, general fundraising, and applicant fees. This money pays performers, reinvests in the festival at-large, and supports local non-profit groups (like Covenant House New Orleans) that support LGBTQIA+ youth. While we wish we could accept every applicant, we can only accept those we can pay; which means the performer number is flexible year-to-year, depending on funds raised.
