Oklahoma’s #1 Comedy Festival

Established in 2014 by Guthrie Green, Blue Whale Comedy Festival’s mission is to put Tulsa on top of the national comedy map. By bringing over 200 comedy acts to Tulsa over the last ten festivals, Blue Whale has continued to introduce local talent to some of the most gifted and successful acts in the country, networking and creating opportunities for local comedians to expand their craft beyond Oklahoma.

We are thrilled to continue bringing a wide array of national talent to the Tulsa Arts District year after year! Check out our list of esteemed festival alum below:
