The Winnipeg Comedy Festival is in full swing, and we've got you covered! Featuring a record 43 shows this year -- including galas taped for CBC's Winnipeg Comedy Festival television show, full sets at Rumors Comedy Club, brand new venues, and the festival's first "Alternative Show" on Saturday -- the festival is home for one week comedians from across Canada and beyond.

For the sixth year in a row, ShowbizMonkeys.com is covering what most comics call their favourite festival to visit. We're posting photos on Instagram and Twitter, and have interviews with a handful of the great comics in Winnipeg this year. We also have a great catalogue of past interviews with performers at this year's Winnipeg Comedy Festival.
