The vision of the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival is and will always be to create an inclusive and safe experience that celebrates and features all forms of performance comedy, from locals to superstars. All while celebrating and supporting the communities and beautiful parks we visit.
GOCF actively works with community organizations to identify needs and ways we can add a little more good to the world. Through the Great Outdoors Community Fund, we were fortunate to donate and raise over $127,500 to local charities and not-for-profits between the 8 cities we activated in this season. These groups fell under 3 main pillars: Arts & Culture, Mental Health and Sustainability. LEARN MORE
Gathering together to share a laugh is important, but we also acknowledge the impacts this has on our planet. That’s why we’re committed to paving a path to a more sustainable festival in future years. From reducing our carbon footprint to thoughtful planning around waste, manufacturing and operations, we’re curating a comedy experience that also keeps the earth smiling. We pledge to continually evolve our robust green event practices year over year, ensuring that we tread lightly and leave nothing but laughter in our wake. We hope you’ll come along for the ride.

“The show in Edmonton, I’m not going to lie to you, I showed up, there was 10,000 people outside in a park…it’s one of the best crowds I ever performed to. They were sittin’ there, they were listening, they were laughing…it boggled my mind how great it was.” — Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast
