OUR MISSION:
Crow Comedy Inc. is a platform for expression, healing, and social progress through the art of comedy and storytelling. We empower people with joy and laughter, ensuring access for those whose stories might otherwise go untold. The Crow provides a stage and safe space for all ages, genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, backgrounds, abilities, and socio-economic classes, and leans into empowering individuals to find their voice and express their point of view through writing and performing.
OUR VISION:
Crow Comedy Inc.’s vision is to build bridges and connections in society through the art of storytelling and comedy and to drive social change through understanding each others’ stories, creating compassion and empathy for all.
OUR IMPACT:
“I’m grateful that The Crow has created such a welcoming space to both watch and perform comedy. I performed there recently for an audience of young teens. A kid came up to me with a big smile after the show to tell me how he’s also trans and that he loved my set. I had to stop myself from crying because there was zero positive trans representation when I was his age. I remember how lonely and terrifying it was. So it blew my mind that I got to be that kind of representation for him - the kind I never got.”
