ABOUT

The 4th Annual Cannon Beach Comedy Festival brings a cavalcade of fabulous stand up comedians to the stunning Oregon coast, March 8th & 9th, 2024.

The festival is produced by the nonprofit Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Tourism and Arts grant from the city of Cannon Beach.

Thanks to that support, tickets are super cheap: just $40 for the whole weekend, and there's no fine print--no drink minimums or junk ticket “convenience” fees. Plus you get to hang out in Oregon's best beach town, just 75 short miles from downtown Portland.

Incredible, we know. We can't believe it either.

We couldn’t be prouder to announce our first comedian: the astounding, acerbic Eddie Pepitone. 

Nicknamed “The Bitter Buddha,” Eddie Pepitone is a master of the dark art of comedy. Eddie is hailed as a modern day cross between Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles and Eckart Tolle.

On stage, Eddie is a force of nature, switching between social rage and tender self-doubt. His shows are an energetic combo of calm and chaos, blue-collar angst and sardonic enlightenment. Few comedians working today channel the power of the rant better than Eddie Pepitone.

Eddie performs Friday, March 8.

Another heavy hitter joining us: Baron Vaughn!
