"It's a festival that's all about the comics. I live in Chicago now but I was born in raised in NC and I am a Carolina girl through and through. There's nothing like getting back to your roots. The festival was a great opportunity to show my family in NC what I spend all my time doing. My daddy enjoyed the festival so much that while attempting to do a dance move he fell flat on his face and broke his collar bone. That's how hard we partied at CFCF!"
Justin Williams- NYC performed in 2011
"Great festival ran by some genuinely nice people. Nutt St. is a great room and the audiences couldn't have been more awesome. I had a blast meeting comics from all over the country, many of which I still work with or drink heavily with today."
Pete Peterson- Boise, ID performed in 2011
"I had just a super time @ The Cape Fear Comedy Festival & would encourage other comics to attend. It is a festival run by comics for comics."
Kenneth McLauren- Ithaca, NY Performed in 2010
"CFCF is the best Comedy Festival that I have been a part of. It is a comedian's festival, where the emphasis is on, having fun, networking, performing. Nutt St. Comedy Room is a great place to perform. The comedy scene in Wilmington is vibrant and exciting and the audiences are great. I while there I met comedians from all over the country and was able to use those connections to perform up and down the east coast. I had a ball, and wish the Cape Fear Comedy Festival was every month."
Kaytlin Bailey- NYC Performed in 2011
"Every night was a dance party, followed by a slumber party, followed by a beach day....also, there was comedy.
Seriously, since then Lauren Vino, Babe Parker and I have all met up to support each other in NYC and work on projects together. The Cape Fear Comedy Festival got us all in the sane room speaking the same comedy language, and for that reason alone I would kill puppies to do again."
"I've been to festivals around the world and never have felt more like I was on vacation than when I was performing at the Cape Fear Comedy Festival. during the day I would swim in the ocean and at night I was performing in front of great crowds and making friends and connections with comics from around the country. can't wait for the next one."
