GIVE MORE THAN APPLAUSE
WE LOVE THAT YOU LOVE COMEDY. WE DO, TOO.
These days, we all need comedy more than ever. But for every Nate Bargatze or Punkie Johnson, there are many working comedians just getting by, honing their craft. Our programs create a safety net when things get tough.

"Now there's an infrastructure in place for help, for therapy, for medical, for any kind of help that's needed when you're a comic, especially as you get older."

PAST EVENTS
2024 COMEDY ALT-STARS ALL-STARS
Board member Dave Rath put together a great night that included Paton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis, and Bob Odenkirk & David Cross Mr. show Reunion. We raised a lot of money for our CGB Fire Fund and a lot more spirits at a time when people needed it most.
2ND ANNUAL CELEBRITY GOLF CLASSIC
We had a great turn out for our second year! This super fun day produced by Steve DiMarco raised money to help fund our programs for the years. Special; thanks to Jay Mohr who came and shared how Comedy Gives Back was there for him when he needed it most.
CHRISTMAS MAGIC
We created a Christmas classic with some of the biggest names in comedy. Every year, thanks to 800 pound Gorilla, all proceeds help to fund out programs.
WE HEART BRODY
It was a devastating blow to the comedy community when we lost Brody Stevens. This event help raise awareness about Suicide Prevention and brought people to gather which we know Brody would have loved.
