Raise money with a night of comedy
ComedySportz Indianapolis partners with nonprofits, schools, and community groups to run fundraisers people actually want to attend. You bring the cause. We bring the show.
Ways to partner with us
Pick the format that fits your supporters, your budget, and your timeline. We can also mix and match.
Benefit night
Your supporters buy tickets to one of our regular shows using your special link or promo code, and a share of every ticket goes to your organization.
- No upfront cost to you
- Works for groups of any size
- Easy for volunteers to promote
Private fundraiser show
Book the whole theater for your event. You set the ticket price and keep the proceeds after the rental fee. Add a raffle, silent auction, or pre-show reception.
- The whole house is yours
- Show can feature your cause
- Food and drink available on site
We bring the show to your gala
Our performers travel to your dinner, gala, or banquet with a show built around your organization, your honorees, and your audience.
- Custom-tailored comedy
- Keeps guests in the room and engaged
- Pairs well with a live appeal
Improv emcee and auctioneer
A ComedySportz performer hosts your program, keeps it moving, and turns your live auction or paddle raise into the most fun part of the night.
- Energizes bidding
- Smooth transitions between speakers
- Great add-on to any format

Questions
Who can host a fundraiser with ComedySportz?
Registered 501(c)(3) organizations, schools, and community groups are all welcome. We may ask for your organization's tax ID when you book.
Is the show appropriate for all ages?
Yes. ComedySportz shows are clean and family friendly. If your audience is adults only, we can talk about other show options.
Does it cost anything upfront?
Benefit nights have no upfront cost. Private shows and off-site performances have a fee, which we'll quote once we know your date and group size. A 50% deposit holds your date, and the balance is due before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
We recommend at least 6 to 8 weeks so you have time to sell tickets. Popular dates in spring and fall fill up quickly.
Can we run a raffle or silent auction at the show?
Yes. We'll set aside space in the lobby and time in the program for announcements.
Can the show be about our organization?
Yes. Our performers can weave your mission, staff, and honorees into the show, all in good fun.
