Event summary

Highlights

Performances by more than 30 stand-up comedians
Main stage sets featuring Jim Florentine and Joe Bartnick

Interactive tomato-throwing comedy event

Hosted at the Pittsburgh Brewing Co. campus in East Deer, the first Iron City Comedy Festival aims to celebrate and spotlight regional comedic talent. The program features continuous stand-up performances throughout the afternoon, leading into a main stage showcase at 8 p.m. with sets from established comedians including Jim Florentine, Joe Bartnick, Jeff Konkle, and Matt Light.

In addition to traditional comedy, the event incorporates several high-energy activities such as a live professional wrestling presentation by IWC Wrestling, a comedy roast battle, and various food trucks. One of the more unconventional highlights is a tomato-throwing event inspired by historic monarchies, where audience members can express their approval or disdain by tossing tomatoes at performers. Doors open at noon, with festivities officially beginning at 1 p.m.
