As someone who’s been involved with Edmonds Comedy Night for several years, I can honestly say this event is something special. It’s not just a fun night out (though it absolutely is that!) — it’s a true investment in our students.
Proceeds support enrichment programs and grants for parent groups across the district, including multicultural events, inclusive community gatherings, and classroom resources. That impact is real.
Thank you to My Neighborhood News Network for helping spread the word and support local events like this!
If you’ve never been, this is a great year to start. The lineup is fantastic, Kermet Apio is always a highlight, and every ticket supports students in the Edmonds School District.
Hope to see you there!
