    There’s a seat and a whoopee cushion with your name on it, right here at our inaugural Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival, February 19-21. It’s time for a good laugh — and sitting around watching deer slide on ice doesn’t count. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, don’t despair — there are still some very good shows (at very affordable prices) still available. These acts were all hand picked by Jeff Garlin and Michael Moore, and they all rock. Take a chance, we know you’ll be pleased.

The Traverse City Film Festival’s State Theatre

The Traverse City Film Festival is a charitable, educational, nonprofit organization committed to showing “Just Great Movies” and helping to save one of America’s few indigenous art forms — the cinema. The festival brings films and filmmakers from around the world to northern Michigan for the annual film festival in late July to early August. The festival donates copies of each film it shows during the festival to 3-10 local area public libraries so that people throughout the region can see the films for free. The festival hopes to open minds and hearts by bringing great films from all over the world about topics of all kinds to people of all ages and income levels.
