Celebrate more than 30 incredible Oklahoma comedians and artists at this locally-produced festival made possible by the TYPROS Foundation. We set out to feature Okies with remarkable talent, paying our artists without asking the audience to drop a dime on two days of hilarious entertainment.
Our two-day festival includes the best of stand up, improv, and sketch comedy in Oklahoma, selected by a panel of comedians, community members and entertainment producers. We're gathering up great local vendors for food and to celebrate arts in the state. Our family-friendly programming on Saturday brings incredible performances across various styles of improv including musical and puppet based, with a chance for them to learn the base skills to bring their imagination to the stage!
We're helping Oklahoma's funny people gear up for other festivals with a recorded open mic - providing "at your best" submission recordings with the audiovisual standards that committees seek when booking.
Make 'Em Laugh, OK is a production of Third Space Society, a Tulsa-based 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization seeking to provide a safe, inclusive, and accessible environment for exploring the comedic arts. The inaugural festival is made possible by TYPROS Foundation. Thank you, TYPROS for making our dream a reality!
We'd love to do this again- if that sounds good to you, consider making a donation while reserving your pass, attending Make Em Laugh at the Black Box or the Last Laugh at the Black Box, and buying The Festival Tee!
