FUNdraising Information
Great FUNdraisers For Your Organization - NO UPFRONT COST!
MISSION OF MERCY TOUR 2008
The mission of Comedy Palooza Radio is the preservation, advancement and promotion of Professional Stand-Up Comedy Worldwide. We interview touring professionals every week on our Internet Talk Show and have found some of the funniest comedians on the circuit today.
We do not sell commercial advertisement on our show. Most of our commercial spots are reserved for worthy non-profit organizations. Funding for our show and mission comes from Charity Tours we perform on a weekly basis. We provide the organization with everything they need to raise moeny for their cause.
We fully believe the majority of the funds need to go to the organization that allows us to perform and we have put together a very lucrative program that costs you NOTHING upfront, but earns great money for you during the high energy 90 minute show.
This is good clean comedy that will have your guests rolling in the floor with wet your pants laughter!
Some of the organizations we are proud to support are:
Moose Family Centers
American Legion Posts
Veterans of Foreign War Posts
All of these serve a very worthy cause, but we aren’t limited to just them. If you have an organization that you think could benefit from our shows, let us know and we will see if we can fit you into the schedule. We only perform on Thurs., Fri. and Sat. nights. These are the best nights for fundraising and professional comedy.

What You Can Expect
People LOVE clean Professional Comedy! Unlike booking bands that some may love and the ones that don’t like their particular music stay home, everyone likes comedy. More people will participate in a good comedy night and you will earn more money than any other fundraiser you have done.
You can expect your audience and supporters to have a blast! We call this “Wet your Pants Laughter” and we are dedicated to providing just that! What an ending to a tough day at the office or at homewith the family; Pure fun and laughter! They will be begging you to book the next one. We only recommend doing these once every 3 months. If you follow our proven plan of success you’ll find your event growing larger every time you do it. We have organizations that have to book 2 nights in a row just to keep up with the demand.
Tickets are sold for a donation of $10.00 in advance and a donation of $15.00 at the door. With the $5.00 savings you’ll find your tickets sold out before you know it. If your hall holds 150 people we will provide 150 tickets. If it holds 1,000 people we will provide 1,000 tickets. The more seating you have the more money you can earn!
On national average, organizations that have a full bar and sell food earn $1,500 plus on food and beverage sales alone! This figure doesn’t include you ticket sales potential.
