wahh what are we supposed to do now?? comfest 24 wrapped up today and I think it’s safe to say that it was one of the best we’ve ever had. To the groups that braved the storm, the technical crew, our incredible professional acts, ushers, skidmore students who housed groups and everyone who came to see the shows, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This event is such a unique opportunity to meet like-minded funny people, thanks for allowing us to continue the tradition. We hope everyone’s facebook is blowing up with new friend requests, hope you guys get to see each other before next year’s festival! 25th is sure to be something special! Thank you again, miss you all already, keep playing
Kelsey, Grace and Olivia
HEY EVERYONE.
so addressing this snow storm that is coming to town with the groups tomorrow, yes. It is probably going to snow. But we have a festival to put on. Obviously we care about the safety of our performers, so please, don’t put yourselves in danger. BUT THE FESTIVAL WILL GO ON. WE HAVE ONE DAY MORE OF WAITING. this is going to be the best comfest there ever was, so listen to this song, sing the song of angry men and start the countdown, because we’re going live in t-minues 24 hours.
LITERALLY THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG ARE ONE MORE DAY UNTIL THE STORM. please email us any questions!

you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout i’m telling you why….
because oscar-award-winning actress Katie Cassidy has starred in one of the most memorable and heart warming christmas classics of all time, Black Christmas. I think we can all benefit from taking time to watch this trailer. If you’re wondering, “are those christmas cookies made out of skin?”, the answer is “Yes!”
“An Instant Classic!” -The Times
but in real life, we will be revealing the professional groups next week! can’t wait to see the look on all your faces!
Happy Winter Solstice from all your friends here at Skidfest (me grace and olivia)
