Festival Rules & Policies

GOCF is an outdoor event (rain or shine), however, there are several instances in which the festival may be paused, evacuated, or canceled due to inclement weather, including (but not limited to): severe thunderstorms, lightning in our festival radius, excessive wind, hail, flooding, air-quality, or as directed by local emergency personnel. Line-up and show schedule are subject to change.

‍If a site evacuation becomes necessary, attendees will either be advised to temporarily seek shelter or that the festival is cancelled for the remainder of the day. To allow the necessary time to safely evacuate the festival grounds, the evacuation notice may occur before any weather conditions are viewable. We request that all attendees follow the directions of festival staff, security and local law enforcement.

As with any live performance there is a certain decorum that we all have to maintain to have a great experience. We owe this to the all Participants of the festival. Heckling is interrupting the performance to upstage, disparage, or throw off the artist. It is never acceptable and can negatively impact other Participants’ experience at GOCF. It can lead to ejection if it crosses the line or is disruptive. Please also keep table or group talk to a minimum while the performances are happening.

Use your own discretion when attending GOCF. We aim to preserve comedy as an art-form without censoring the Artists’ material. Some performances may contain potentially offensive content. Consider your own comfort level with sensitive topics before attending. If you are unsure about specific language and subject matter that may be used, please contact us or do your own research on the Artists’ performing on that show.
