The 4th
Annual Boston Comedy Arts Festival will begin with an appearance by one
of the most famous comedy groups in the world. The festival will begin

The
festival kicks off with a double header of performances from the world
famous Cambridge Footlights. With 129 years of experience, the
Footlights have launched the careers of a long list of
internationally-renowned comedic talents, including household names like
John Cleese (Monty Python), Hugh Laurie (House) and Emma Thompson (Love Actually) while continuing to nurture exciting new performers like Mitchell and Webb (Peep Show) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat).
“We're
thrilled to have the Cambridge Footlights kick off this year's
festival. Having a group of that caliber and tradition come in to
Boston helps set the tone for the entire festival,” said Boston Comedy
Arts Festival Producer Jeremiah Jordon. “Beginning with a group of their
caliber only highlights our incredibly solid line-up with acts from all
over the country. It's a great way to see a wide variety of styles,
formats, and talent all in one hilarious weekend.”
