The Comedy Vybez Festival rolls into the Miami Beach Bandshell on Friday, July 24, 2026, running from 4 to 10 p.m. Billed as the largest Black stand-up comedy festival in South Florida, the event takes place at 7275 Collins Ave in North Beach, nestled between 72nd and 73rd Streets.
The comedy lineup features a mix of veterans and rising stars, including Tony Woods, Ashima Franklin, and Joe Clair — best known as the former host of BET's Rap City. It's a stacked slate for anyone who appreciates sharp, seasoned stand-up alongside fresh new voices.
The festival is part of the broader four-day Miami Takeover celebration, and the entertainment stretches well beyond the mic. Attendees can also enjoy live R&B performances and a tribute to Toni Braxton performed by singer Latasha Bla'q.
Rounding out the experience is an immersive art activation by Miami-based muralist Rodney Royal, giving the evening a distinctly local creative flair that goes beyond the typical comedy show format.
Tickets and additional details are available at comedyvybezfestival.com. Event information was originally reported by Time Out Miami.
