Welcome Purveyors of Humor,

Comic Retreat & Conference is a celebration of your talent.

You’ve worked hard and helped spread laughter all year.

Now it's time for you to relax, rest and recharge.

Enjoy our new home, Fort Lauderdale.

Hailed as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale is a fusion of

rich culture with a world-class ambience of tropical splendor.

Have some fun with constructive people. Nap by the pool or beachside,

perform some new material at one of our showcase shows,

meet new friends & Network.

We understand that the business of comedy is not easy.

We salute your courage to get up on stage night after

night and make a room full of strangers laugh!

Our community offers a beautiful, warm, setting perfect for stand-up comics

to have a positive experience with other comics from around the globe.

See You in January!
