JOIN THE COMEDY GIVES BACK CLUB NETWORK.
SUPPORT THE COMEDIANS WHO KEEP US LAUGHING.
At Comedy Gives Back, we believe that laughter connects us. The people who make us laugh deserve to be supported in return.
That’s why we’re growing our Comedy Gives Back Comedy Club Network: a nationwide initiative that brings together clubs, venues, and promoters to support the well-being of the comedy community. Through this network, we connect with comedians in their environment (the green room) and help fund vital services including mental health therapy, suscide ideation, financial issues, and chemical dependency treatment.
WHY THIS MATTERS
As someone on the front lines of live comedy, you and your team are uniquely positioned to connect comedians with the support they may desperately need — especially those outside major markets like LA and NYC.
We believe in a simple but powerful idea:
The comedy community supports its own.
With your help, we can grow a nationwide safety net — and ensure no comic has to struggle alone.
WAYS YOUR CLUB CAN GET INVOLVED
There are several simple ways to participate — all of which make a real difference:
-
DONATE a % of ticket sales
-
Add a donation button or optional giving at ticket checkout
-
Run a brief PSA or branded slide before shows
-
Display flyers on tables
-
Posters in the green room with CGB resources for comedians
-
Share our social media assets to amplify the message
SUPPORTING CLUBS
HOW COMEDY CLUBS ARE SUPPORTING COMEDIANS THROUGH THE CGB CLUB NETWORK
Comedy clubs across the country are joining the network and supporting Comedy Gives Back in a variety of meaningful ways.
Currently, six Live Nation-owned venues are part of the network, donating a portion of every ticket sold.
Other partners include:
Laughing Skull Lounge (Atlanta, GA): Marshall Chiles added a donation button to the ticket checkout page and includes a blurb about Comedy Gives Back. The club also matches all donations.
The Comedy Vault (Batavia, IL): Recently joined the effort and is actively helping us spread awareness.
