Paris to Host 3rd Annual Tower City Comedy Festival

Paris, Texas – After dealing with the fall out of COVID and the uncertainty of the pandemic,
Tower City Comedy Club announced the line up for the 3rd Annual Tower City Comedy Festival
to be held March 26-27 in Downtown Paris Texas.
“We were the last live comedy festival in the US in 2020 and now we are the first of 2021.” Said
Comedian and organizer Daryl Felsberg. “ we had no idea what we were up against and had to
call “several audibles” in order to put it together.” Felsberg said that although it would not be
as large as the 2020 campaign which saw 12 sold out shows and 70 plus comics, it would still
be an incredible event.
“I think we are all ready to get out of the house, to laugh and enjoy life again. I know the
comics are.” Over 30 comics from all over the US will be in Paris that weekend to perform and
attend workshops and network.
Headliners for the event include John Wessling (Comedy Central, Roast of Jeff Foxworthy, Last
Comic Standing, and Live at Gotham) who will perform friday night. Then Ralph Harris (in
Dream Girls w/ Beyonce, and Eddie Murphy, Evan Almighty, and Seinfeld) will close out the
main show saturday night.
Fans will also get to enjoy the “Off the Cuff” show where comedians are given random subjects
via a monitor shared with the audience had have to create material instantly. Another popular
event is the Tracy Kellett Roast Battle, where comics battle it out and roast each other for the
crown. Last year Tracy (Colorado Springs, Co) was crowned queen and will host this year’s
event.
