48 Hour Laugh-A-Thon

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 10 improvisers perform for 48 hours straight joined by over 50 guest acts. We’re not kidding.

The event will feature shows for folks of all ages 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, 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 a lotto where audience members can jump onstage with the pros.

Can’t make it? No worries. We’ll be live-streaming selected events and offering ways for the audience to get involved.
