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.

Visits to the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital and The Stollery Children’s Hospital during the Festival and an additional two Comedy Cares visits through the year have been made possible by The Dianne and Irving Kipnes Foundation.

Visits in Spring 2019 were sponsored by Capital Power.

Planned visits in Fall 2019 are sponsored by Denton’s Law Firm.

A huge thank you to our incredible 2019 Comedy Cares sponsors.

Thank you to the amazing Artists who perform and bring our special brand of Smiles and Laughs to the people who need it the most.
