Third Space Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization striving to provide a safe, inclusive, and accessible environment for exploring the comedic arts by providing low- or no-cost workshops, classes, and performances in Tulsa and its surrounding communities.

Make Em Laugh, OK 2025 is a product of our mission and strategic plan to celebrate Oklahoma’s comedic talent, set an expectation of compensating artists and significantly lower barriers to laughing together as a community.

We were fortunate to receive a grant from the TYPROS Foundation in 2024 that allows us to pay artists, secure the venues and produce a great experience, donors will enable us to provide additional benefits to volunteers, attract food vendors, potentially cover travel for out of town comics, and fully compensate additional workers, including our submission video production team. Additionally, donors will make the 2025 festival the first of what we hope will become a tradition.
