The Detroit Women of Comedy Festival celebrates and elevates women, trans, and non-binary comedy makers from Metro Detroit and beyond.

DWCF strives to honor and amplify marginalized voices across a spectrum of genders and identities to create an inclusive platform for community-building, joy, and collaboration in comedy.

The festival features improv, stand-up, sketch, podcasts, alt-comedy, and workshops. Proceeds directly support Detroit-based non-profits providing arts education and services for at-risk populations in the community.  

100% of festival profits are paid out to our beneficiaries.
