After taking a year off due to Hurricane Odile, the Cabo Comedy Festival returned for its long awaited second edition last weekend, with over 75 stand-up comedians performing at Desperados<\/a> and La Divina nightclubs in downtown Cabo San Lucas.<\/p>\n

The 5-day festival was produced by the L.A.-based Zaring Group and Wind Entertainment, and sponsored by the Los Cabos<\/a> Tourism Board, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting DIF Los Cabos, a charitable organization which supports children and families in need.<\/p>\n

In addition to performances, parties<\/a> at Baja Junkie and Mango Deck, and Q&A panel discussions about the business of comedy at Tesoro Los Cabos, this year, for the first time, the festival partnered with Levity Entertainment Group and Sirius\/XM to produce a show for Sirius\/XM. Called “Best of the Fest”, it was broadcast to more than 28.4 million subscribers.<\/p>\n

A rising star was also crowned in the Jack Rollins Breakthrough Talent Competition, and Elayne Boosler was honored with the Giant of Comedy Award.<\/p>\n

It was a strong second act for the Cabo Comedy Festival, and a great kick-off for high tourist season in Los Cabos. But don\u00b4t panic if you missed it. More entertainment focused events are on the way, from the 4th installment of the Los Cabos Film Festival to two music festivals in nearby Todos Santos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since its spectacular debut at the newly opened Los Cabos Convention Center in 2012, The Los Cabos International Film Festival (formerly the Baja International Film Festival) has been a strong force for collaboration between North American film industries.<\/p>\n

Or, as festival director Alonso Aguilar-Castillo says: \u201cDue to the synergies achieved over the last 4 years, we can proudly say that we are a platform for filmmaking in M\u00e9xico, the USA and Canada, awarding prizes worth important amounts to winners thanks to our partners who make these awards possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year more than $425,000 is up for grabs across multiple categories, including four new prizes: Cinemex awards for best Mexican film ($15,000), best film of the competition ($15,000), and audience favorite ($10,000); and a CIT award to the best project at the development stage. And an eagerly anticipated biopic of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs from Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, and The Social Network scriptwriter Aaron Sorkin, will make its Mexican premiere at the festival, slated for November 11 \u2013 15, 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Todos Santos Music Festival has grown from a few friends playing for a few people into an incredible event featuring well-known bands and bigger crowds, without losing the intimacy or impromptu spirit,\u201d said Peter Buck. \u201cThe opportunity to bring artists together to support the Palapa Society\u2019s educational mission, along with other worthy local charities, is extremely gratifying for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
