Ivan Martin, Founder and Stand Up Comedian/Voted Best Comic – Baltimore SUN shared, “The Baltimore Comedy Festival as well as the Baltimore Comedy Community is very grateful for relationships that grow our comedy scene and city. A BSO x BCF Sponsor and Partnership is the exact demonstration of big city entities making sure that seemingly inaccessible venues are accessible to performers and patrons of all demographics.”

Tori Muñoz, Motor House Director of Operations shared, “We are thrilled to have made it through COVID to celebrate another Baltimore Comedy Festival. We are becoming a top venue for comedy in Baltimore because of Ivan Martin, founder of the Baltimore Comedy Festival. Every Wednesday he and his team hosts the ‘Art of Comedy’, the city’s most vibrant open mic comedy night, at our venue.” Motor House and Ivan Martin were featured on Comedy Central’s ‘Kevin Hart Presents: “Hart of the City”, which aired July 2019 and 2020.
