Can't stop won't stop. We're back at Comedy House New Orleans today with a binge-worthy mini marathon of stand-up comedy.

It all starts at 4:00p with Lunchbox Comedy's RAPID FIRE.

Then from 6:30-10:30p we are running another SUPER STAND-UP SUNDAY with comics from all over the dang planet.

See y'all for the second to last night of Hell Yes Fest!

Tonight we kick off ​ Yes Fest​, the longest running and largest comedy event in the South.

To celebrate 10 years, we booked an all-local lineup in one of the biggest venues in the city, The Joy Theater.

Because we believe in the talent that lives in New Orleans.

Because we want everyone to see what we see every week at Comedy House: that New Orleans is a great comedy town.

Because we love this city, this comedy scene, and the comedians that make it special.

We need everyone to come out strong this week. Grab tickets to ​The Joy​. Or grab full fest passes (these get you into The Joy as well).

All tickets available below. Let's go, New Orleans.

With gratitude,
Chris

I'm thrilled that Hell Yes Fest is celebrating 10 years (!!!) next week.

This year we've got 5 venues, 8 days, and 75+ comedians from all over the world.

If you look at the poster you'll notice that the big font names are all local headliners. For this special landmark year I wanted to prioritize the local scene - because that's always been what this is about.

Celebrating and elevating New Orleans comedy.

There's some really killer out of town comics on this year. Some of them have more credits than the local headliners. Many of them have more social media followers. It's all good.

But the main thing for me is pushing New Orleans. That's my job, that's my favorite thing in the world to do, and that's what we're doing.

Every single show at Hell Yes Fest in 2023 has a local host and headliner. I want everyone to see how far this scene has come.

Now we need all y'all to show up. Buy tickets to a show. Buy a whole ass pass as a gift for your friend. Come to the biggest local show I've ever put on, this Monday at the legendary Joy Theater for Hell Yes Fest Opening Night.

Share the event on your feed.

Talk about it at work.

Come celebrate the New Orleans comedy scene all next week with us.

Thank you for reading.

"TRIXX is one talented Torontonian comic." - Just for Laughs (JFL42 Committee)

"...[W]hat makes TRIXX’s act special are his powers of observation – his impressions of kids and women are hilariously believable – and his honesty." - Glenn Sumi, NOW Magazine

Taboo shattering, searingly honest, and painfully funny, Frankie “TRIXX” Agyemang is one of Canada’s rising comic stars. TRIXX , The 2013 Winner of Just for Laughs’ JFL42 Big Break competition (The Grid TO called “a brilliant set”), has opened for such stars as: Tracy Morgan (30 Rock), Damon Wayans (In Living Color), Cedric the Entertainer (The Original Kings Of Comedy), Mike Epps (The Hangover series), Aries Spears (MADtv), Sugar Sammy (HBO Canada), as well as for his good friend and mentor, Russell Peters.
