ASHLAND SARCASM FESTIVAL
December 2025 | Downtown Ashland & Angus Bowmer Theater
A weekend of sarcastic wit!
A new holiday tradition is born... In the frosty embrace of December’s first week, the Ashland Sarcasm Festival shall convene. A royal celebration of Wit to fill the venues of our simple hamlet. A revelry of grand proportions shall unfold, for rich is the bounty of jest to be garnered! Forsooth, our quaint village of Ashland doth abound, ripe and ready to be roasted under the sharp tongue of mirth.
The Ashland Sarcasm Festival is a joint venture between Storytown Ashland and Epic Ashland to bring you a weekend city-wide celebration of all things snark, satire, and side-eye. We're taking over downtown with comedy, music, theater, food, adventure games, and irreverent fun that skewers, salutes, and celebrates the beautiful weirdness of Ashland.
WHAT WILL ASF! INCLUDE?
Events throughout downtown Ashland! We’ll be presenting goofs and gaffs at all your favorite spots - from standup comedy to quirky improv troupes, commedia dell'arte to game shows, and more!
We’ll have events for adults and kids alike.
You won’t want to miss it!
Why Ashland?
Ashland is known for its rich cultural legacy, stunning scenery, ability to throw a world—class festival—and its wit.
The Sarcasm Festival is:
A fresh winter draw for tourists
A major economic jolt for downtown businesses during the slow season
A chance for locals to laugh at themselves (and each other)
A showcase for rising comic talent — think of us as Just for Laughs for the Pacific Northwest
