The Hill People’s Comedy Fest (HPCF) is an exuberant celebration of comedy in all of its forms; stand-up, improv, sketch, music, and new experimental styles in the beautiful Western Catskills village of Stamford, NY. This festival brings nationally-acclaimed comedians together with talent from the Catskills, the Hudson Valley, NYC, and the surrounding region to entertain and mingle with the local community. Founded in 2021, performers and audience convene under the tent alongside The Belvedere Inn at 10 Academy St. in Stamford in late June.
