Comedy Cares is an award-winning outreach initiative produced by the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival

Proving laughter can soothe the soul, festival cast members use their talents to deliver healing smiles and chuckles to patients, family, and staff of Edmonton area hospitals and care facilities.

This year, we’re proud to present an extra special online version of Comedy Cares and will bring our unique brand of healing diversion and delight to those who need it the most.

When it is safe to do so, following all required procedures and protocols, Edmonton StreetFest’s Comedy Cares visits will return to hospitals, care facilities and to communities, small and large. In the meantime, we thank all of our past Comedy Cares sponsors for their support in bringing our special brand of healing laughter to the people who need it the most.
