Cookies and Comedy Film Festival

Cookies & Comedy Film Festival is a one-day celebration of comedy shorts in downtown Pittsburgh. On Saturday, March 14, 2026 we take over the Harris Theater with three curated film blocks, live stand-up between films blocks, thoughtful filmmaker Q&As, and relaxed networking over an authentic Pittsburgh-style cookie table. Come for the laughs, stay for the cookies!
