COMEDY NINJA Film and Screenplay Festival aims to be an uproarious three-day comedy free-for-all that will have audiences rolling in the aisles as it showcases the funniest work of comedic performers, directors and writers from around the globe.

Besides showing a bunch of rib-tickling films, COMEDY NINJA Film and Screenplay Festival will feature hysterical performances by stand-up comedians, surprise celebrity appearances and a rocking opening night party. There will also be a closing night ceremony where COMEDY NINJA HIYAH! Awards will be handed out in all categories, a screenplay competition and much more!

COMEDY NINJA Film and Screenplay Festival is being presented by seasoned filmmakers Quentin Lee (White Frog) and Chuck Parello (Ed Gein). Veterans of many film festivals themselves, Lee and Parello are looking to provide an unpretentious and memorably fun event for filmmakers that will allow them to network with industry insiders as their gut-busting work is shown on a big screen to an appreciative audience. About COMEDY NINJA Film and Screenplay Festival Quentin Lee states, “We want to celebrate the things that make people laugh the hardest, to show distinctively hilarious films from distinctively off-the-wall perspectives. This festival will be all about comedy with a kung fu kick.”
