Support the Future of Comedy

The involvement of generous, civic-minded businesses and individuals is vital to the success of Big Pine Comedy Festival and the ongoing work of Broken Drift Productions. Each year, our team is committed to providing valuable educational opportunities for comedians at every stage in their careers.

Through our festivals and quarterly workshops, we offer:

  • Business & career development education
  • Industry panels with talent reps, bookers, agents, and producers
  • Writing labs and hands-on workshops
  • Kids comedy shows and youth-friendly programming
  • Scholarships for performers seeking growth and financial support
  • Mentorship and networking events with working professionals

In addition, we award the annual Road Scholar Award — a career development grant given to the performer who best embodies what Big Pine stands for: being funny on stage while building and supporting the comedy community offstage.

With annual events in Arizona, California, and Texas, we are always seeking local and national sponsors who want to support the growth of artists, performers, and the comedy community at large.

Your support helps us:

  • Bring in diverse talent and new voices
  • Expand access to professional tools and experiences
  • Foster community, mentorship, and connection within the industry

Whether you are a local business, a national brand, or an individual looking to give back, we invite you to become part of the Big Pine mission.

Thank you to our current and past sponsors for helping us build something meaningful — for comics, for the industry, and for the future of live entertainment.

A Word From Our Sponsors

“Big Pine Comedy Festival was a great experience to attend. Comedians from all over the country sharing their love of making people laugh. Workshops for people of all ages during the day where comedians with all different skill sets coming together to improve their craft, network, and have a good time. Great showcases featuring a mix of emerging artists and people with TV credits. There are shows for the entire family as I heard a few clean shows where the laughter was still roaring. Cool venues featuring amazing Arizona brewed beer added to the awesome experience that was Big Pine 2018. I will definitely be back again next year. Thank you to all the volunteers, comedians, and people who donated to make Big Pine 2018 a success.”
