Supporting Netflix Is a Joke Fest 2026 required more than creative execution. With 45+ venues spread across Los Angeles, the festival depended on a coordinated production and logistics operation capable of delivering thousands of deliverables on tight timelines. Imagine’s LA-based Midnight Oil team managed creative, production, distribution, installation at scale, and on-site brand management at every venue, helping bring one of the country’s largest comedy festivals to life across Los Angeles.
Challenge
With more than 45 venues, 475 performances, and 500 artists participating throughout the festival, Netflix needed a partner capable of managing a highly complex production and distribution effort.
Thousands of deliverables had to be produced, quality-controlled, distributed, and installed across a diverse network of arenas, theaters, comedy clubs, hospitality spaces, and special event venues. The project required precise coordination across multiple teams while operating on a compressed timeline.
Solution
Bringing together expertise across creative, pre-media, engineering, fabrication, logistics, and additional production capabilities, Midnight Oil managed every phase of execution, from planning and production through distribution and installation.
Production included:
- 130,400 litho and press pieces
- 10,165 specialty items
- 210 grand-format graphics
- 60 fabricated structures
Working as a single coordinated team, Midnight Oil produced, distributed, and managed the installation of assets across more than 45 festival venues. The effort included coordinating approximately 100 trucks to transport materials throughout Los Angeles, ensuring assets were delivered and installed on time across the festival footprint.
