Comedy for a cause

Grassroots Comedy DC (GCDC) sits at the crossroads of comedy and advocacy. Simply put, we make humans laugh while improving humanity. Our goal is to use comedy to support local nonprofits in their mission to make DC (and the world) a better place for all.

We aim to accomplish this via the following ways:
  • Hosting stand-up comedy fundraisers benefiting a local nonprofit partner each month
  • Educating our audience on important issues and the local actors working to address them
  • Connecting our local partners with potential advocates, allies, and volunteers
  • Building relationships between local organizations working across the nonprofit sector  
  • Building community around the convergence of comedy and civic engagement

Upcoming Shows:

2nd Annual Super Spectacular Comedy Show For The Planet
April 25th, Bier Baron Tavern and DC Comedy Loft

Ah, spring. When the breeze is soft and warm, the birds are chirping, and there's an impending blizzard about to hit the central U.S. as the region faces a "bomb cyclone." Umm... Climate change (or global warming, global weirding, climate chaos, or simply “not a problem”) is destroying the sweater of our atmosphere one stitch at a time while President *rump holds it up and declares it “a great sweater; the best sweater." Grassroots Comedy DC (GCDC) and Green Drinks DC (GDDC) have seen enough, which is why they are joining forces to put on a fantastic stand-up comedy show on Thursday, April 25th. A portion of proceeds go to support Green Drinks DC's great local work to help connect environmentalists and solve the biggest challenge facing humanity since Bob Barker announced his retirement from “The Price Is Right” and the search for a replacement began (let’s hope this goes better than that did).
