Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Comedy gives back is an organization dedicated to creating a safety net for stand up comedians in need. See sch o for continuationwe provide the comedy community with grants towards mental health therapy, financial crisis relief (which can include, but not limited to paying past rent, medical bills, insurance, etc.) and chemical dependency treatment. We offer resource meetings for professional development, and community support (which includes weekly recovery support meetings). Being alone on stage is part of the job, feeling alone off stage is unacceptable and comedy gives back is here to make sure that does not happen.

Dedicated to creating a safety net for stand-up comedians in need.
