What has 86 acts, 32 comedians, 48 comedy teams, for a total of 272 individual performers on 3 different stages over 4 nights of comedy? Answer: The Dallas Comedy Festival!\u00a0 Running March 22nd to March 25th, it features a killer lineup of acts by comedians from around the country. And catching all of it just got a lot easier with a day-use hotel via HotelsByDay<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The event is hosted by the Dallas Comedy House, the city\u2019s newest performance venue run by comics. The Dallas Comedy Festival promises to be a laugh riot. Located on 3025 Main Street, the Dallas Comedy House specializes in a blend of stand-up comedy and long-form improv. And it’s right across from the Monkey King Noodle Company.<\/p>\n

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including laughs!<\/h5>\n

We all know what stand-up comedy is, but just what is long-form improv anyway? In short-form improv shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway <\/i>the rules for a sketch are set beforehand. But long-form improve, on the other hand, may have a set form, but there are no set rules. Performers are free to make up their own rules as they go along. They bend and break them to their heart\u2019s content. The format makes for some unforgettable off-the-wall sketches.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s performing at this year\u2019s Dallas Comedy Festival? For starters, Jill Bernard, an improv comic and a founding member of HUGE Theater in Uptown Minneapolis. Jill is bringing her acclaimed interactive Drum Machine sketch to the Dallas stage. Pavlov\u2019s Dogs, Dallas\u2019s own native improv troupe, is celebrating its twentieth anniversary performing in the Big D. The viral sketch British-American comedy duo, We Are Thomasse, will hit the stage on Saturday night. A veteran of Last Comic Standing<\/em>, James Adomian, famous for his impersonations, will be headlining on Friday and Saturday nights. From imitating George W. Bush to Bernie Sanders, to his podcast Comedy Bang! Bang!,\u00a0<\/em>this is a comedian not to be missed live. To keep your stamina up for all the acts, make a daycation of the event with a day-use hotel!<\/p>\n

Jello shots and comedy, a winning combo<\/h5>\n

The Improvised Shakespeare Company joins Adomian on the headline spot. The performance brings a touch of class to the crass world of comedy. The ISC is a Chicago-based improv troupe which interprets a Shakespearean style on the spot, with no prep. Check out their impromptu sketch \u201cRubber Crazy,\u201d performed ex tempore<\/i> at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Grab a seat at the Dallas Comedy Festival<\/a> and see some once-in-a-lifetime sketches from ISC, Pavlov\u2019s Dogs, We Are Thomasse, and more!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the beer-pong after-party with the organizers, crew and performers on Saturday night. Or Sunday morning, depending on when you arrive.\u00a0 Last year\u2019s festival sold 1,131 jello shots, and this year\u2019s bar crew is gearing up to break their record. DCH wants to host one of the biggest comedy festivals in the country, and judging by the laughs and the number of jello shots consumed, it\u2019s on right on track. Be sure to keep your itinerary flexible with a day-use hotel, featuring early check in and late check out<\/a>, from HotelsbyDay<\/a>.<\/p>\n
