For the fifth summer in a row, the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival returns to Calgary’s Prince’s Island Park, beautifully-located just north of downtown on the Bow River. Past comedians who’ve bravely dealt with Calgary’s famously dry hands (and the occasional tiny finger cut) include Bill Burr, Tom Segura, Iliza Shlesinger, Theo Von, Andrew Schulz, Bert Kreischer, Adam Ray (as Dr. Phil Live), Russell Peters, Jonathan Van Ness, Nick Offerman, David Spade, and Whitney Cummings. This event is 18+ (no minors) and goes ahead rain or shine.

We are committed to Reconciliation and respectfully acknowledge that our festival is situated on the unceded traditional territories of Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta. We honour their presence, stewardship and strength in this area since time immemorial. We are grateful to be a guest on this territory.
The 2025 50/50 raised a total jackpot of $26,920 in support of the Calgary Young People’s Theatre!
Through the Great Outdoors Community Fund, 50/50 raffle proceeds from the 2024 festival supported Easter Seals Alberta: Camp Horizon. Past festival proceed recipients have been The Mustard Seed, Accessible Queer Spaces, Kids Up Front and the Autism Aspergers Friendship Society.

Calgary is a dynamic city. It's picturesque prairie landscapes and a vibrant urban centre. It's entrepreneurial energy and living in the moment. It's cowboy spirit, but also refined and cosmopolitan.
