This summer, the Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival returns to downtown Asheville July 17th, 18th and 19th expanding last year's two nights of stand-up into a three-day festival.

This year's festival is proudly presenting NBC's Last Comic Standing winner Alonzo Bodden, over a dozen touring comedians, a workshop for aspiring comics, a comedy magic show for kids and three different nights of performances making it the largest stand-up comedy festival in the southeast.
       
The Festival kicks off on Thursday, July 17th with LYLAS, Asheville's first all female sketch comedy troupe. LYLAS will open the stage for an evening of stand up comedy featuring some of the funniest comics on the east coast leading to the headlining act, DC's very own refreshingly hysterical Mike Storck.
           
Friday, July 18th festival anchor, Alonzo Bodden will perform 2 shows at 7 pm and 9:30pm. Alonzo Bodden was launched into comedy stardom after winning the smash hit reality-television series Last Comic Standing on NBC.  Bodden was born in Queens, New York. He has performed on numerous television shows including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Make Me Laugh, Late Friday, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, and Comedy Central Presents. He is currently selling out theaters all across the country and he is also a talent judge on NBC's Last Comic Standing, along with Kathleen Madigan and ANT.

Saturday, July19th, The Laugh Your Asheville Off Team welcomes back last years festival favorite comic Johnny Millwater to perform a child friendly comedy and magic show (11 am) as well as a stand-up comedy workshop (2pm) at 35 Below in the Asheville Community Theater.

The Festival continues into the evening with a final comic blowout party performance at the Diana Wortham Theatre at 8pm, which also features Johnny Millwater along with a stage full of the funniest comedians on the East coast.
