Lucille Ball Comedy Festival


The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival (Lucy Comedy Fest) is an annual festival that takes place in Jamestown, NY (Lucy's hometown). Lucille Ball's vision was an annual festival of comedy that would support rising comedians in her hometown. The Lucy Desi Center for Comedy started out with the Lucy Desi Museum and Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, and has since grown to include attractions such as the Desilu Studios and Tropicana Room, a museum and private event venue in tribute to "I Love Lucy," recently named "Best Television Show of All-Time" and "Best Comedy Show of All-Time" by ABC's 20/20.
