Epic Ashland’s “Epic Nights of Comedy” – December 5 & 6

Epic Ashland is a nonprofit founded by a lifelong local with a passion for keeping Ashland fresh and connected to today’s vibrant community. Last summer, they hosted the second season of Summer Sounds—a series of free concerts in Lithia Park—and are already planning for 2026. Up next is Epic Nights of Comedy on December 5th and 6th, part of the larger Ashland Sarcasm Festival in partnership with other community organizations. Epic Ashland’s mission is simple: bring new, exciting, and fun experiences to the calendar. Local hotels are joining in with special promotions to boost tourism and make these events even more impactful.

What is Epic Ashland? A dynamic alliance of Ashland business owners is on a mission to rejuvenate our beloved town, ensuring it thrives for all of the generations who call it home. Inspired by impassioned conversations among longstanding locals and entrepreneurs, Epic Ashland emerged with a powerful question: How do we make Ashland a vibrant haven once again, one that captures the spirit and energy families living here?

While existing organizations tirelessly promote tourism and economic development, there’s a vital need waiting to be met—an organization solely focused on nurturing the dreams and aspirations of our younger generations. Thus, Epic Ashland was born, dedicated to empowering the next generation and crafting a future where Ashland remains their cherished home.

Inspired by the idea for Epic Nights of Comedy, the Ashland Sarcasm Festival is a celebration of sharp wit, clever humor, and the art of saying what everyone’s thinking — with a twist. This one-of-a-kind weekend brings together top comedic talent for a series of shows in some of Ashland’s most charming and unexpected venues. Epic Ashland is thrilled to partner with Storytown to bring this laugh-filled event to our great town, creating an unforgettable experience that blends local flavor with world-class comedy.
