The Busan International Comedy Festival is Asia's first comedy festival, held every year since 2013, to develop comedy culture content and vitalize the Korean comedy industry.

People are already excited about the 12th Busan International Comedy Festival (BICF), where famous domestic and foreign comedy teams will participate!

The Busan International Comedy Festival, which presents more diverse comedy performances under the theme of 'Busan Sea of Laughter,' will start with the opening ceremony at the outdoor theater of the Busan Cinema Center on August 23 (Fri) and continue until September 1 (Sun). It will be held in various parts of Busan for ten days.

This year’s festival offers many delightful choices: Comedy Street, Comedy Open Concert, theater performances, which were suspended due to COVID-19, and Gag Pay Theater, where you pay for the number of laughs. Non-verbal comedy and performance comedy that people with vision impairment and people with hearing impairment can enjoy together are also highlights.

Korean team performances include shows from these laughter geniuses: Short Box, School Food King, Mandam Assemble @ BICF, Seoul Comedy All Stars, Zoltan Show, Single Bungle Show, To Mom Show, Byun Ki Soos Cursing Show, and Ongals History Show. Foreign team performances are: Gabez, Verivery, Living Cartoon Duet, and Laughing Mic.

And don’t miss the comedy concert and awards ceremony at the festival’s closing. They are one of the highlights of the event!
