Locally Grown Comedy - 30 days to 30k

Donation protected
Locally Grown Comedy is a female-led, diverse, award-winning, filmed sketch comedy show, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.


Since our launch in July of 2022 to all social media platforms, our comedy company has had almost 80 Midwest artists on our set: improvisers, actors, crew, editors, writers, musicians and comedians. In just under 5 months, we have won the "Best New Project" award at Catalyst Film festival (the largest film festival in the Midwest), amassed thousands of views and followers on multiple platforms and produced almost 25 sketches and 4 music videos (Kat Perkins from THE VOICE, Gabriel Douglas of 4onTheFloor, Annie and the Bang Bang and Kiss the Tiger), in hopes of showing the world just what Minnesota is made of:

Funny people.
Talented people.
Creative people.
Badasses.


LGC believes art and comedy should be accessible to everyone, anywhere...and that's why we release all of our content for free onto Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Youtube (links below) ... and while we love doing this work with our revolving door of diverse artists, we cannot continue without your help. Grants and state assistance may be on the way for our non-profit company, but not until the end of 2023...

which is where YOU come in.

In the next 30 days, we are hoping to raise $30k. To pay our crew. Our editors. Actors. Writers. To provide meals on set. Covid testing. Wardrobe. Production insurance. Equipment. Sets. Props. Everything!

Many television pilots (just ONE episode) cost between $50k-$250k... $30k would allow us to make sketches and music videos for almost AN ENTIRE YEAR.

With your tax-deductible donations (we are a 501c3), we can continue to create and put ourselves out there, in hopes of larger production companies and/or businesses seeing our work, investing and watching just what the Midwest has to offer!

so.....LET'S DO THIS!!!
