IS RETURNING! This DECEMBER 3-5 2026

Year TWO of Our Mirth — 2026: the 2nd annual Ashland Sarcasm Festival!

After a wildly successful first year, the festival returns in December 2026 — bigger, sharper, and full of irony. In partnership with EPIC Ashland and the Angus Bowmer Theatre, it grows into a town-wide event.

What to expect:

  • Familiar faces and venues with the same dry, playful humor.

  • New acts, expanded programs, and fun surprises that make you laugh and roll your eyes.

  • More local vendors and community participation.

  • A town-wide festival across EPIC Ashland, the Angus Bowmer, and other local stages: plays, pop-up shows, stand-up, quick sketches, musical satire, workshops, and interactive pieces — all with plenty of sarcasm.

Save the December dates, 2026, and get ready for a louder, wittier, and more delightfully snide celebration.
