  • Food while on your shift.
  • Working with a great group of like-minded comics aficionados.

PLEASE NOTE: While not required, SPX strongly encourages everyone attending the festival to wear a mask while indoors to limit the transmission of Covid-19 and other illnesses that commonly arise from crowded conventions.

If you are unable to provide your own, masks will be made available outside the ballroom and programming rooms. We thank you for considering the health of SPX's community of exhibitors, special guests, volunteers, staff, and attendees.
