The all women and nonbinary comedy festival returns with more venues, more laughs
Year three is definitely not the same as year one for most anything. For the 2024 Lysistrata Comedy Festival – running April 4-7 with all women and nonbinary performers – it’s a wonder to behold the growth since its launch in 2022 with a quaint 36 performers in a single small New Orleans space.
This year’s festival brings 75 hilarious performers from across the country to grace the stages of ColdTowne, Hideout, and Rozco’s Comedy Club. The festival’s growth to three venues is due in large part to the increase in submissions year after year. According to fest co-founder and Operational Director Denise Jena, “It’s hard to reject perfectly good performers due to little other than the limits of time.
Without funny performers, Lysistrata wouldn’t exist, either. “Every year,” McConico says, “the basic tenet of the festival remains. We know a bunch of funny womxn and nonbinary performers and we want to see them shine.”won NPR’s 2021 Bullseye Comedy album of the year.
