We're Back!
The Midwest Queer Comedy Festival is Returning!
Founded in 2017, we are rebranding as MQCFest.
The name has changed, but we are still focusing on promoting Queer Voices to comedy fans.
As a touring comedy festival, MQCFest was designed to move between cities annually, by Midwest Queer Dwayne Duke.
