Comedy Festival Poster Archive

The SXSW Comedy poster has become a staple of the festival since 2013. Here's a look back at exclusive Comedy Festival posters from the last decade.


 

Every year, the SXSW Comedy Festival commissions a renowned artist to create a limited edition poster available to attendees, along with a special version exclusively for performers. Each includes the SXSW Comedy mascot (a frog wearing a jester’s hat) featured or hidden somewhere in the design. Click below for a closer look with downloadable PDFs.
