MessFest is the annual student-led comedy festival hosted at The Annoyance Theatre and Bar and lasts for four days in January. The masterminds behind all festival operations are DePaul University students, who have spent the fall pitching shows, directing, writing, performing, marketing, running tech, creating merchandise - just about everything but the bar. For obvious reasons. Let's get messy!
