London, ON
HARRIS  PARK – JULY 19-21, 2024
IMPORTANT LONDON UPDATE

Due to the recent heavy rains in Southern Ontario and the greater London area, the Harris Park grounds have experienced significant flooding from the Thames River making the site unable to accommodate the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival scheduled for the coming weekend, July 19-21. Despite our best efforts for a solution, it is unsafe for everyone involved to proceed with the weekend.

Refunds for all tickets purchased through our only online ticketing provider, Tixr, will be issued automatically. No action is required on your end. These refunds including the ticket price, facility fee, and taxes (for all tickets and add-ons) may take up to 4-6 weeks to process. If you purchased tickets from a third-party, you will have to reach out to them directly and it is not in our control.

We are just as saddened to share this news, and hope to see you back at Harris Park next summer!

It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of this weekend’s Great Outdoors Comedy Festival in London. Our primary goal is to provide the best experience for our fans, the talent, and our partners, with their safety and well-being at the forefront of everything we do. Our team has worked tirelessly with the city to try and find a way for the show to go on, but given the current conditions of the grounds, we are unable to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone involved. The tremendous amount of support we’ve had from the London community since announcing our expansion into the city has been incredible, and we’re so disappointed that we can’t celebrate our first weekend there with you. Thank you for everything London – we look forward to laughing with you in better conditions in 2025.
