48 Hour Laugh-A-Thon Multi-Show & Weekend Passes

Stomping Ground Comedy, Dallas’ only non-profit theater dedicated to comedy, will host the inaugural 48 Hour Laugh-A-Thon fundraiser October 13-15. This is a two-day, one-of-a-kind community event where TEN IMPROVISERS perform for 48 HOURS STRAIGHT joined by over 50 guest acts. We're not kidding. And it's all for a good cause.

The event will feature comedy shows all weekend, including family-friendly shows during the day. And the fun won't stop just because the kids are in bed. We'll keep you laughing all through the night with late-night and early-morning shows for both night owls and early risers. Plus, the weekend will offer food trucks, giveaways, and lots of surprises.

The 'Thon will feature all of your favorite Stomping Ground improv teams and popular shows like Crime Night, My F*cked Up Thanksgiving, Spaghetti Confetti, Midnight Vault, SideScroll, Broadway(ish), and many (many) more. In this unique event you'll also see one-time-only shows like Pup 'Prov (yes, improv with adorable doggos), ParkerGames Live!, Wake Up Stomping Ground! (a new Morning Show), Buzzed: Brunch Edition, and other special engagements that you won't want to miss.

Want to join in the fun? There will be community events like the late-night Pajama Jam Improv Jam and Ready Bench, where audience members can jump onstage with the pros.
