The Peoples Improv Theater and award-winning solo show artist and producer Peter Michael Marino proudly announce the return of SOLOCOM following last year's record-breaking weekend which debuted 85 world premieres. This year's 3-day festival features 120 brand new solo comedies by artists from across the country, Canada, England, and Newfoundland - from traditional solo show artists to sketch, storytelling, stand up, physical comedy, music, multi-media, improv, cabaret, and clowning.

SOLOCOM was created in 2013 to provide artists a platform to generate and launch brand new comic material. Dozens of shows that made their debut at SOLOCOM have gone on to tour the world and play at various festivals including Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Hollywood Fringe, NC Comedy Arts Festival, Orlando Fringe and more.
