Founder · history · mission
A bigger world for the funny ones.
Started over a decade ago by Hope Flood to support female comedians with access, education, and mentorship, Comics Rock grew into a convention for all comedians and the people who help comedy happen.
The 12th iteration returns to connect artists with industry insight, professional development, and the community they need to keep going.
Read the convention storyA note from Penny
Welcome to the room.
A personal welcome letter is on its way. Until Penny sends the final words, here’s the invitation:
Placeholder — final letter coming soon
“Welcome to Comics Rock — a place to laugh loud, learn something useful, and leave with a few more people in your corner.”
This placeholder welcome letter will be replaced when the real letter from Penny is sent. For now, consider this your backstage pass to a convention built around access, joy, and the next opportunity.
