who we are
All the Laughs -ATL- Comedy Awards is a global comedy awards festival celebrating independent comedic creators and content makers from around the world. Founded in 2020, during a global pandemic, because comedy isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. ATL has grown into a thriving annual and year-round community event.
Our mission is to recognize, celebrate, and elevate independent comedic creators who are working tirelessly to make the world laugh.
We are not just an awards show. We are a movement built on three things:
community, collaboration, and comedy.

Why It Matters
​
Independent comedic creators face a daily uphill battle, creating original content, building audiences, and sustaining their craft without the backing of major studios or platforms.
ATL exists to change that equation. We believe:
Laughter isnt just entertainment, it is medicine, activism, and community Independent creators deserve recognition on a global stage Comedy, at its best, makes people smile, think, and take
action Collaboration between creatives makes everyone stronger When the world needed it most, ATL showed up. We were born during a pandemic because we knew comedy couldn't wait.
