What WICF Does – Throughout the Year

If you missed the festival this year, fret not! We have events all year long, including shows like Jelly: The Untelevised Comedy Variety Show every fourth Thursday of the month and Boston Comedy Chicks, which will start its new season in September.

Our annual festival will return next spring and we’ll announce dates this fall. Are you a comedian? Apply this fall to perform in our next festival. Submissions are open to comedians of all genders, from all over the world.

Each year, WICF features hundreds of comedians from all over the world at our annual festival. We produce comedy shows, workshops, and special events throughout the year as well.

Online, WICF Daily reports on all things comedy, with a focus on women. In early 2017, we’ll be launching our own podcast network, with shows ranging from horror, to science, to young adult fiction — all with a comedy slant.
