INNOVATIVE. PROVOCATIVE. HILARIOUS. WOMEN.

All Jane (formerly All Jane No Dick) Comedy Festival is an all-female comedy festival devoted to inspiring, encouraging, discovering and promoting the quality and diversity of women in comedy.

This curated festival focuses on selecting the very best women stand up, improv and sketch comedians working in comedy today. Curious Comedy Theater, a non-profit comedy theater in Portland, Oregon, produces this all-women comedy festival. 

Today, women still represent only 17-19% of the comedy industry. Women are sorely under-represented in high profile comedy festivals, in writing rooms and in television appearances. Industry representatives explain this discrepancy by claiming quality women comedians are hard to find. All Jane was created to help bridge the gap between women comedians, audiences and industry decision-makers.

This year’s All Jane women’s comedy festival will take place October 15-18, 2015, at Curious Comedy Theater and other venues in Portland, Oregon.

The line-up includes nationally and internationally recognized stand up comics, improvisers and sketch groups as well as extraordinary local talent. Women comedians also have an opportunity to meet and work with each other, share stories of their challenges and successes, and trade ideas on how to navigate this tricky business.
