PCF Needs Your Support!

Support Local Comedy with a Personal Gift

The Pittsburgh Comedy Festival is non-profit, volunteer-run, and a project of Comedy Arts Pittsburgh (CAP)–an arts organization founded to raise the profile of comedy as a performing art in Pittsburgh and to raise Pittsburgh’s profile nationally. Using comedy as a universal language, CAP partners with artists, as well as public and private organizations to promote comedy and the life skills it imparts. In each of its first three years, PCF has:

Forged connections between Pittsburgh’s comedy scene and national acts
Introduced everyday Pittsburghers to the art of comedy
Provided family-friendly, daytime programming
Assembled an inclusive schedule of acts showcasing unique perspectives and voices

In 2017, for the first time, PCF is offering rewards for individuals who support the festival! Browse the rewards below and make a contribution! Every little bit helps. Questions about this program? Contact us! Because PCF is a non-profit event, all donations are tax-deductible.
