FuMPFest

the great Luke Ski and Tom Smith

A Comedy-Music Festival/Convention

FuMPFest is a full weekend of comedy music. If you're a fan of The Dr. Demento Show, The FuMP, or any of the other numerous outlets for comedy music, you will feel right at home here.

FuMPFest features concerts throughout the weekend by today's top musical-comedy performers, including your favorite artists from The FuMP. We also feature panels, interviews, and other events related to comedy-music and the guests on hand.

We at The FuMP had talked about holding our own convention for some time, but were unsure if we could actually pull it off. Then in 2013 the great Luke Ski put on LukeSkiCon as a private event for his Kickstarter backers. Devo Spice then expanded on that event to create FuMPFest. Our first event was held in June of 2014 with Dr. Demento as our guest of honor. Since then we've played host to The Arrogant Worms (2015), Paul and Storm (2016), Henry Phillips (2017), and The Four Postmen (2018). For more information about past events please visit our Archive.

August 9-11, 2019

Festivities begin with Opening Ceremonies Friday evening and run until the end of Closing Ceremonies Sunday afternoon. Friday and Saturday night events run until about midnight. Please refer to the schedule for details.

And to make things easier on our attendees we have created a mobile app to accompany the event. The app contains information about the con, the schedule, and streaming links to tune in live.
