This grant facilitated a free comedy show with 6 student performers from Amateur Hour Stand-Up Comedy, titled “Five on the Clock.” The audience of Amateur Hour’s show got the opportunity to learn about new backgrounds, interests, identities, and the student performers were able to find humor in situations that used to bring them pain, such as their parents’ divorce or troubling policies that affect their identity.

Comedy gives the members a great opportunity to reframe their experiences and make them something everyone can laugh at. It's a perfect opportunity to spotlight different identities and build bridges that connect performers to diverse audiences. Getting someone to laugh is incredibly unifying especially when it's something the comedian felt alone in thinking was funny.
