Information for Performers

Welcome WICF comedians! We look forward to having you perform as part of WICF. Many of you have questions pre-festival, so here is a FAQ:

Where should I stay in Boston or Cambridge?
WICF has an arrangement with Le Méridien in Cambridge. Rooms for WICF performers will be discounted. Please visit WICF's event page on their website to book a room at the discounted rate. Discount available through February 18th.

I am in an improv or sketch group and I have concerns about the tech part of my show. What should I do?
Please upload your tech sheet to your application. If you have additional questions, please email us at submissions@womenincomedyfestival.com

As a WICF performer, which is the policy about me watching shows at WICF? Performers will receive a Performer Pass. Details coming soon.

How can I make sure I see all shows at WICF?
Festival passes for each night of shows at ImprovBoston are available. With each pass, yoou'll be able to get into any and all shows at ImprovBoston on that given night. For Mottley's and Brattle shows, you'll need to buy a full-priced ticket to each show to be sure yoou'll get in.

As a WICF performer, do I get a discount on the fabulous workshops?
Yes you do! As a WICF performer, you get a 15% discount on all workshops except for both Jeff Singer 'Step Up Your Stand up Workshop'. Check out the workshops.

Where will WICF comedians be hanging out in between shows if the shows are full?
You are welcome to relax in ImprovBoston's green room, located in the basement of ImprovBoston. There is plenty of space, and there will be water and light snacks, as well as a WICF volunteer there to answer any questions you might have. We only ask that you keep it down, since your fellow performers are onstage! ImprovBoston also has a bar in the lobby, and you are welcome to hang there. Again, please be respectful and keep it down while shows are going on.
