Shift Drinks Comedy announces the seventh annual, All The Laughs (ATL) Comedy Awards. This event is to recognize comedic creators from around the globe and to come together to celebrate community, collaboration, and of course comedy! Under the backdrop of the thriving Atlanta (ATL) comedy scene over three days we will be showcasing the very talented and hard-working comedians from across the globe. Can't make it in person, no worries, we will also simulcast a portion of the festival through our virtual theatre platform, Sparq, so there's no need for traveling or pants. So if you're there in person or online, you'll enjoy screening parties to include the works from all the nominees, industry panels, live comedy, and culminating with an awards presentation, with special guests, all to celebrate; community, collaboration, and comedy!

Everyone deserves a shot, only a few will win The Golden Pitcher!

The nominees in each category will receive a festival laurel, as well as be showcased during the three day event. The winner in each category will receive a laurel, a certificate, and the personal engraved coveted Golden Pitcher.

Society Awards has designed and crafted many of the world’s top awards including the Emmys®, Clio Statuette, MTV’s VMA Moon Person, Academy of Country Music Awards, and the American Music Awards.

    This was such a lovely festival to be a part of with Mandee McKelvey's CLAM. We are so honored by the Golden Pitcher award. The team was great, and the award is HEFTY. It's quite the trophy. Thank you for putting on such a great event!

    We had a great experience here - and not just because we won Best Mockumentary and one of our actors was nominated! Our contact Dominick was very responsive and helpful all the way through the process. Unfortunately we couldn't make it in person but we were so thrilled to be a part of the whole thing. Recommended

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend in person, but all of the communication in the lead up was clear and timely. The social media presence is really strong, and I appreciated being able to keep up with the festival from afar. I'm honored to have won a couple awards, and I'm really excited to get my golden pitchers! Thanks all!
