Now in its 9th year, the Salem Comedy & Spirits Festival celebrates the craft of comedy and shines a light on renowned local makers. The annual three-day winter festival runs nightly from Thursday, January 27th to Saturday, January 29th, 2023.

Says Scalia “As a Salem resident and a comedian, we love bringing the craft of comedy home and making people laugh. This Festival gives me the opportunity to raise everyone’s spirit in winter. And, by bringing in comics from all over the U.S., locals get to experience variety in their own backyard.”
