Support The Launch of the Comedy Catalyst Program!

The world’s on fire - figuratively and literally. From climate justice and immigrant rights to the freedom of speech itself, the causes that matter most need new ways to break through the noise.

That’s where The Comedy Catalyst Course comes in as a bold new 5-week training program from Grassroots Comedy and Rising Organizers that teaches comedians (and soon-to-be comedians) how to use humor as a tool for advocacy and social change.

Participants will learn from professional comedians and organizers, develop original material inspired by real world issues, and perform their advocacy-driven comedy at a live showcase, leaving with a professional video of their set and the skills to keep creating change through laughter.

We need to raise $10,000 to get this program off the ground. Your donation will fund facilitators, performance space, and materials to launch the first cohort in February 2026.

Because if we can’t save the world, we can at least make it laugh on its way to redemption.
