HK International Comedy Festival

The HK International Comedy Festival is an annual comedy festival in Hong Kong.

Founded by The TakeOut Comedy Club Hong Kong in 2007 for English and Cantonese-speaking comedians resident in Hong Kong, the festival has expanded to include comedians from all over the world. There are separate English and Chinese language competitions. The festival also includes a night featuring improvisational comedy.

In 2007, Vivek Mahbubani won the Cantonese competition and Tom Schmidt won the English competition. The finals of the festival was hosted by Paul Ogata.

The 2008 edition will take place from October 9 - 18, 2008. The finals of the 2008 festival will be hosted by Tom Cotter.
