Dakota News Now is reporting that 30 different comedians including headliners Jackie Kashian from Comedy Central and the Late, Late Show and Miss Shannan from Nickelodeon’s Nick Mom’s Night Out are making the trek to the frozen tundra of South Dakota to help you laugh your snow pants off all three days in a variety of venues throughout Sioux Falls.

This year's festival will also include a live Dork Forest podcast recording with Jackie and a special guest.

The entire 3-day event is designed to celebrate comedy and snow while enriching the community by supporting non-profit organizations in the state.

There are two charity partners on the receiving end of their generosity this year, and they are the Compass Center whose mission is navigating the journey to healing for all affected by sexual, relational, and family trauma, and the Transformation Project whose mission is to support and empower transgender individuals and their families while educating communities in South Dakota and the surrounding region about gender identity and expression.

The various comedy performances will be hosted Boss’ Comedy Club, Remedy Brewing, & Spellbound Magic Shop & Theater.

Tickets for the 3-day comedy festival can be purchased on an individual basis or by buying an all-access pass that is good for all three days.
