The Comedy Nights Story

We held our first Comedy Night in 2010, raising just over $20,000. Since then, the event has grown through multiple venues and, in 2021, found its perfect home with our partners at The Comic Strip.

What began as a single night with 150 guests has become a six-night celebration welcoming more than 1,500 attendees. Thanks to the unwavering support of our partners, guests, and donors, Comedy Nights has raised over $2.2 million to support YOUCAN Youth Services and the young people we serve.

This growth also reflects the legacy of our former Executive Director, Kyle Dubé, whose relentless vision continues to guide our work. He believed in dreaming big and creating real opportunities for youth — a spirit that lives on in this event.

We’re excited to welcome you to a fundraiser unlike any other: a week of laughter, community, and purpose. Together, we carry forward a legacy of living large, dreaming big, and being truly relentless.
