dccomedyfest is excited to welcome THE ONION as a sponsor for 2008! Are they funny? Yes. Great satirists? No doubt. But even MORE importantly they throw great parties which we'll all get to benefit from during dccomedyfest.
WELCOME politico!
Welcome to our latest sponsor: POLITICO ! Politico is a sharp, hip, edgey and very, very respectable all at once!
They'll be contibuting in many exciting ways to dccomedyfest in 2008, from supplying Vlogs about the intersection of dccomedyfest, comedy and politics by James Kotecki to moderating the 'Politics is Funny' panel featuring Lizz Winstead (co-creator of The Daily Show), Joe Medeiros (Head Writer for The Tonight Show), Pete Grosz (writer for The Colbert Report) and Baratunde Thurston (web editor for The Onion's War for the Whitehouse coverage).
ROOFTOP comedy
RooftopComedy is dedicated to giving comedy fans access to the best, most cutting-edge (and, yes, funniest) professional comedy from around the globe.
We record, produce and distribute real comedy the way it's supposed to be: raw, uncensored, and not filtered through a bunch of uptight corporate suits. Moreover, we work on behalf of our comedians and comedy partners to reach a larger audience of true comedy fans, further build their followings, and make them additional money along the way.
This glamour-pus and super fun hotel is the homage to all of our "15 minutes of fame." Not only the official hotel of dccomedyfest 2008, but ALSO the site of some fun events to be announced in the coming weeks.
ONE IN TEN
One In Ten was founded in 1991 at the same time they began our first program, the Reel Affirmations International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Since then, their programs have grown to include a companion Pride Film Festival, nights of live comedy, educational museum-based programs, a grant program to support filmmakers, and collaborations with other arts organizations to tell the stories of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) community. They are a proud sponsor of dccf's Queer Comedy Corner show.
DC Vote Play DC vote song
dccomedyfest is all about freedom - of speech, of
thought and - hey here's an idea - FREEDOM FROM
REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION!
That's right, most Americans don't even know currently, more than half a million Americans living in our nation's capital have no congressional voting rights. They have no vote for jobs, no vote for health care, no vote for education or any issue debated and voted on by the U.S. Congress.
Founded in 1998, DC Vote works to secure full voting rights in Congress for the residents of the District of Columbia by:
- Informing Congress and the American public about this injustice.
- Formulating solutions with coalition partners and elected officials..
- Promoting change based on the principle that a government is democratic only when people have the ability, through freely elected leaders, to shape the laws under which they must live..

Why sponsor dccf?
Because we produce a high-energy, high-interest event that's unique to the greater mid-Atlantic region of the United States and draws talent and industry from New York, LA, Toronto and everywhere in between.
No other event south of New York and North of Miami produces such an in-depth comedy event on as large a scale that features ALL major comedy genres - stand-up, film, improv and sketch.
dccf! isn't just one night of fun, but a three-day event held at some of the best venues throughout the city, upping the attention and excitement, and thereby appealing not only to the die-hard comedy-phile, but also to the casual comedy audiences just looking for something fun, exciting and different to do.
dccf! provides businesses and organizations countless creative ways to reach the smart, hip, urban and suburban 20-45 year old consumer bracket. We can offer everything from program ads to giveaways to video commercial placement on website and at events, from banners & t-shirt placements, to product placement & naming rights and much more. What better way to get the attention of a consumer than to make them laugh?
