We connect comedy and advocacy to create positive change.

Stand Up For Change® is a powerful new project that harnesses the unique expertise of standup comedians to help amplify the impact of today's emerging changemakers -- including progressive political candidates, nonprofit leaders, issue advocates, and more.

We take action on our mission across three dynamic initiatives:

TRAININGS FROM AND FOR THE REAL WORLD

Through intimate workshops and exclusive curriculum, Stand Up For Change® provides groundbreaking public speaking and storytelling training for political candidates, nonprofit leaders, organizers, and others who are looking to take their advocacy to new heights. We bring in real-world tips and tricks from talented comedians who have unrivaled expertise in public speaking, dealing with hecklers while staying on message, and developing a unique, powerful, and memorable voice.

PUNCHLINES WITH A PURPOSE

We never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world, and we think that should include fans of standup comedy. That’s why we’re proud to produce themed live benefit comedy shows that deliver punchlines and an impact. By raising awareness for important issues and donating event proceeds to game-changing causes, Stand Up For Change® is creating space for laughter and action.

CONVERSATIONS FOR A CAUSE

Part news, part comedy, and part call to action, we’re sharing candid conversations between comedians and advocates, activists, and elected leaders about what’s really going on in the world, and what we can each do to affect real change. Hosted by our network of progressive - and hilarious - comedians, we’ll ask the big questions on everyone’s minds and break down how we can each make a difference in the world.
