Myq Kaplan

Maine-born but Los Angeles based comic Ian Harvie is planning Maine’s first ever comedy festival.

The festival will take place over three days, two nights, and five shows with over 16 headlining comics, including Myq Kaplan who released one of our top 10 albums of the year last year.

Other performers include Kelly Macfarland, Erin Foley, Fortune Feimster, and Ben Roy. You can see the full list of performers here.

The festival takes place from August 5 – 7th at The Bethel Inn Resort in Bethel, Maine. They’re also hosting a Celebrity Comic Charity Golf Tournament with proceeds going to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation of Maine.
