DONATE TO THE 2026
LATINA COMEDY FESTIVAL
You can now support the Latina Comedy Festival directly through our Givebutter campaign and this week only, your gift can go twice as far. A community partner has offered a matching grant: if we raise $1,500 by Friday, August 28, they’ll match it for a total of $3,000. After raising $1,200 on National Latina Day, we know our community can meet this goal.
Every contribution helps bring the 2026 festival to life. Donors who give $50+ will be recognized on our website, and those who contribute $200+ will receive a special shoutout during a festival showcase.
Your support truly makes a difference. Thank you for helping uplift Latina voices and talent.
Please note: Donations are not tax‑deductible.
WHAT IS LATINA COMEDY FESTIVAL?
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Latina Comedy Festival! You showed up in a big way, helping us bring together an unforgettable weekend of showcases, workshops, especially during a difficult time for our Latino community.
We are proud to renew our partnership in 2026 with The Lincoln Lodge, a non-profit comedy club dedicated to promoting comedy and creating opportunities for local artists in the Chicago community.
Because of your support, over the past 4 years audiences have been entertained by top Latina comedians from across North America in vibrant comedy showcases in English, Spanish (for the first time in 2025!), and Spanglish. Your support, through donations, ticket sales, or just simply spreading the word, has made this celebration of talent and culture possible, and we’re so grateful you were part of it.
THANK YOU FOR APPLYING!
The caliber of this year’s performer submissions was truly outstanding. It was a difficult decision but we’ve made our final selections for the 2026 festival. Check out the list of performers and stay tuned for more info!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Thank you to everyone who packed the room for our 2026 Fundraiser Show. Your energy, your laughter, your raffle‑ticket hustle, your support—it all helped fuel the next chapter of the Latina Comedy Festival. From the folks who showed up early to the ones who brought friends, donated prizes, and cheered on every comedian who donated their time and talent, we felt the love. This community is the reason we get to keep building something big, bold, and beautifully Latina.
THANK YOU 2025 SPONSORS
This project is partially supported by an Individual Artists Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.
