What is NewFunny Comedy?

NewFunny Comedy is a Newfoundland & Labrador based non-profit on a mission to develop, support, and promote the success of comedy-focused performers from traditionally under-platformed backgrounds. NewFunny recognizes, celebrates, and champions new perspectives into the rich legacy of comedic arts in our province, and works to remove barriers and create opportunities to elevate those voices.

How do we go about this, you ask? Well, you curious kitty, let us tell you:

1. We Host Shows:
We offer three regular shows a month, produce comedy specials, and host wacky one-offs. 

2. We Foster Community:
We partner with rad community groups to develop interest and participation in local comedy.

3. We Prioritize Diversity: 
Comedy is funnier with more people and more perspectives. We're vigilant about diversity and inclusion when creating lineups, designing programmes, and joining with partners; we're not perfect, but we're working on it.

Monthly Shows

Every month, we bring you three very different ways to take in (and take part in) joyful local comedy....

NewFunny By-the-Numbers 

Data? Oh ... we have data.

5+ Years

Our first show in 2021 started us off with six acts, publicly mandated face-masks, and a dream that comedy could be for everyone.

80+ Shows

From 20-seaters to full-house theatres, our shows have accounted for over 600 individual stage credits.

130+ Performers

From first-timers to old-timers, NewFunny has more people, variety, and fun. 45% of 2026's performers had their "NewFunny First" that year -- 32 new funny folks!
