What is the RISE Comedy Festival?

RISE Comedy Festival is an annual festival hosted by RISE Comedy in Denver, Colorado. The Festival will be a celebration of Improv, Stand Up and Sketch Comedy that takes place over 2 weekends in July starting with a weekend of Stand Up.  The final weekend is for sketch and improv comedy. Other than performances, we will also be organizing and hosting industry panels, excursions and classes. We will bring comedy, locally grown and throughout the world to Denver, Colorado.

Why Should I Sponsor You?

We are a local small business helping to showcase homegrown talent and talent from all over the world to come to Denver. RISE Comedy has thousands of people come through its doors and is in one of the busiest areas in Downtown Denver in the Ballpark District, near the hip RINO and LODO area. Sponsoring the festival will support a local small business that had to shutter its doors for over 16 months, but survived to give folks a well needed laugh. It’s also a great way to get your companies name and/or product in front of one of Denver’s most diverse and inclusive audiences.

About RISE Comedy

RISE Comedy is Denver’s home for improv, sketch and stand-up comedy performance, as well as classes in all these art forms. We feature dozens of hilarious unscripted improv comedy shows, ranging from the improvised Broadway musicals of Hit and Run: Musical Improv, to the fast-paced improv hilarity of Laugh Track and featuring some of Denver’s best local stand up comics. We also offer corporate events and training as well. Our bar features local craft beers, wine and craft cocktails.
