The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival is a NO MINORS event (18+ in Alberta).

Let’s head north to Treaty 6 Territory – Amiskwacîwâskahikan, also known as Edmonton. Heading into our fifth summer in the ‘City of Champions’, GOCF takes over Kinsmen Park nestled in the beautiful river valley on the south banks of the North Saskatchewan River. Past headliners have included Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Chelsea Handler, Tom Segura, Andrew Schulz, Shane Gillis, Amy Schumer, Bert Kreischer, David Spade and more!

This event is NO MINORS (18+) and is a go rain or shine.

Get ready to laugh under the open sky! Join us as we showcase an incredible lineup of comedic talent—ranging from local gems to superstar headliners—all in the stunning backdrop of our beloved parks and communities across the nation. Come for the jokes, stay for the scenery, and let the good times roll!

We honour their presence, stewardship and strength in this area since time immemorial. We are grateful to be a guest on this territory.
