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 and senior residences.

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

We thank all our current and past Comedy Cares sponsors for their support of this program. If you would like to sponsor a Comedy Cares visit, please contact the StreetFest office at 780.425.5162 or email producer@edmontonstreetfest.com.

A special thank you to the Dianne and Irving Kipnes Foundation for their donation.
