Thanks to a strong showing in its inaugural year, the stand-up-focused Comedy Exposition announces its return for 2015. In an attempt to fill the void left by the disappearance of the mega Just for Laughs festival—which annually populated the city streets with a crop of hyped and established stand-ups—the fivesome of Katie McVay, Stephanie Hasz, Goodrich Gevaart, Zach Peterson, and Matt Byrne began the Comedy Exposition in 2014 with a modest goal in mind: make it good enough to do again next year. Success.

Visit the Comedy Exposition site in the upcoming weeks/months for further updates on the festival’s lineup and locations.
