We’re thrilled to team up with Atlanta’s favorite comedy event, FilmSlam, to launch an annual showcase of the best local sketch comedy — Peaberry ComedySlam!

Our first combined event takes place Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at Landmark’s Midtown Arts Cinema.

If you know the FilmSlam format, you’ll feel right at home — the timing and screening structure will remain mostly the same, with just two updates:

• One event per year: ComedySlam will now be an annual April showcase, serving as a spring counterpart to the Peaberry Film Festival each October.
• Sketch-focused submissions: We’re doubling down on the sketch-comedy roots of FilmSlam, so submissions are now capped at 5 minutes. Longer shorts will continue to have a home at Peaberry Film Festival. Submissions remain completely free.

Our goal is to create an annual lineup featuring the very best of Atlanta’s sketch-comedy scene — a night of big laughs, creative collaboration, and vibrant local filmmaking.
