Each year may look a bit different but for the most part, the show takes place in April at a major theatre here in Columbus, OH.

The 22nd Thurber Prize takes place on April 28, 2023 at Southern Theatre.

The Thurber Prize for American Humor is a coveted literary award in the world of humor writing.

His legacy is preserved through efforts by Thurber House, a Columbus, OH arts organization that maintains the historic home of James Thurber.
