Flyover Comedy Festival is heading back to St. Louis this November, and this time the party is shifting to the Delmar Loop. Headliners David Cross, Roy Wood Jr. and the Sklar Brothers are set to top a multi-venue stretch of national stand-ups, improv troupes and local favorites spread across several clubs and theater rooms in the neighborhood. Festival badges are already on sale and individual shows are starting to show up on venue calendars.
Dates and the Delmar Loop move
The festival's official website lists the 2026 run for Nov. 11–15 and names Delmar Loop stages including The Pageant, Delmar Hall and Blueberry Hill's Duck Room, according to Flyover Comedy Festival. Local reporting also notes that Flyover is moving out of The Grove and into the Delmar Loop, and that select headliner nights will land at the Stifel Theatre downtown, per First Alert 4.
Headliners and lineup
Organizers and local reporting name David Cross, Roy Wood Jr. and the Sklar Brothers as this year’s marquis acts and say nearly 150 performers will hit Flyover’s stages across the run. The initial announcement lays out a mix of stand-up, sketch and improv, pairing legacy names with rising locals, with more shows expected to be added in the coming weeks, as reported by St. Louis Public Radio.
Where to see the big names
David Cross is scheduled to headline The Pageant on Thursday, Nov. 12, and the venue’s event page lists set time, door time and ticketing details, per The Pageant. The Stifel Theatre calendar shows a Flyover-presented Dropout Improv show on Saturday, Nov. 14, and the venue’s Ticketmaster page lists that event.
Tickets, badges and hotels
The festival is offering limited four-day badges along with other ticket packages through its ticketing page, and it names The Cheshire as the official hotel partner on the festival site. Organizers describe the badges as the easiest way to bounce between multiple late-night sets and panels across venues in the Loop.
When to buy
Some individual shows opened for presale earlier, and Ticketmaster indicates that general on-sale for certain festival listings began July 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CDT. Fans are urged to check venue pages for specific on-sale windows and age restrictions. For the full schedule and future announcements, the festival directs fans to sign up for its newsletter and keep an eye on the official site for additional lineup drops.
Why locals should care
Flyover has helped put St. Louis on the comedy map by bringing touring comics into smaller rooms where local performers and venues share the spotlight. The shift to the Delmar Loop spreads those shows across a walkable stretch of restaurants, bars and hotels, a change that organizers and nearby businesses expect to watch closely when crowds roll in this fall.
