Comedy doesn't pay for itself

Arcade is a 501(c)(3) arts organization dedicated to providing a space for artists, audiences, and students to engage with the art of comedy. Ticket and class revenue helps those programs exist, but on-going donations from our community ensure we can remain in our home in the heart of the Cultural District.
