Comedy Festival Testimonial – August 18 2018

 Tyler G. (FIRE ALARM)

I just wanted people to read my work so I submitted to a lot of places. This one is particularly interesting in how it’s formatted to do read throughs of the work as a reward. I was very pleased with this festival, and it’s very encouraging to get a sense people care about stories and the work writers do.

Genre: Comedy
