Comedy Gives Back is the safety net of the comedy community. It was created to give comedians resources to turn to when times get tough; providing financial crisis relief, mental health and chemical dependency treatment sponsorship, and community support. Being alone on stage part of the job of a stand-up comedian, but feeling alone off stage is unacceptable.  

“Since 2019, Comedy Gives Back has granted hundreds of thousands of dollars to working comedians experiencing hardship. This year we are proud to partner with The Great Outdoors Festival. Funds donated will go to comedians in need with a special emphasis on stand ups from Spokane and Washington State.”
