In under a year’s time, The Elysian has made waves in the LA comedy scene and has become a hub for so many weird and wonderful folks that were scattered to the many winds of comedy when 2020 reared its grotesque head.

Now, they’re making another big mark on the scene by throwing their very own festival that will specifically “serve as a springboard for underrepresented creators and unusual work.” The Elysian’s First Festival will happen over ten nights from Oct. 20th-30th and is really open to lots of wild ideas, even if they’re not strictly comedy.

If you get picked, you’ll get a very nice neat package to help you develop the sweet idea you had for the festival including:

– A night at the Elysian
– A $500 production stipend
– Creative development support through a mentor from the Elysian community
– Promotional support, including headshots, graphic design support, and a professional recording of your show
– Tech support, including a full three hour tech rehearsal
– Free admission to the other shows in the festival
– Some kinda Fest swag

The deadline is Mon. Jun. 20th at midnight PT and you can potentially be part of the Elysian’s First Festival by submitting here.
