Calling All Local Comedians!

Daniel Pitino Shelter is proud to announce that this year’s Annual Stand Up For Families is going to be bigger, better, and funnier than ever before!

📅 Mark your calendars: November 21st, 2025
📍 Location: Grand Stables

We’re taking the laughs to a whole new level this year—and YOU might be part of the show!

👉 For the first time ever, we’re opening the stage to local comedians and aspiring funny folks to help us kick off the night! That’s right, three local comedians will open for our headlining act (to be announced soon 👀), and the audience will vote LIVE the night of the event to crown the Local Comedy Champion 🏆🎉

Think you’ve got the jokes to bring the house down?

Here’s how to enter:

1️⃣ Record a 10–15 minute set
2️⃣ Upload it to YouTube or Vimeo
3️⃣ Send the link to [email protected]
🎥 Submissions open NOW and close September 30, 2025

Our Events Committee will select the top 3 acts, and we’ll announce the winners via Facebook Live! Then, on event night, the audience will choose who takes home the bragging rights and the official Local Comedy Champion trophy🏆

But this isn’t just about laughs—it’s about standing up for families experiencing homelessness. Your talent can help us raise vital funds to provide shelter, hope, and a path forward.

💬 So we ask:
• Do you want to take a stand for families in need?
• Do you have what it takes to steal the show?
• Are you ready to be part of something that truly matters?

🎟️ Let’s make this year’s event unforgettable. Let’s laugh, lift each other up, and Stand Up For Families ❤️
