Get ready to laugh and challenge the status quo! Reserve your seat for Pay Gap Comedy every Wednesday in March. This all-star lineup features hilarious female comics, both national and local talent, taking center stage to educate about societal gaps with humor. Come early for networking and conversations on critical issues facing women in Minnesota.

Don't miss out on delicious sips and eats from the Market at Malcolm Yards. Plus, you can spice up your night by volunteering to win prizes during the half-time gender trivia game. Let's come together, have a blast, and drive gender equity by fundraising for Rock What You Got Fund. It's comedy with a cause – one show at a time!

NOTE: Line-up subject to change without notice.

The Rock What You Got Fund leverages stage and story to drive gender equity and we do it through fun and educational arts and entertainment programming like the Pay Gap Comedy Shows. These shows are listed as FREE to attend as we want everyone to feel welcome regardless of your ability to pay. However, if you are able to support our mission with a donation, you'll provide opportunities to compensate our performers and artists in this and future shows and allow us to expand our student mentorship and internship programs.
