Community and Cultural Impact

Over the past four years, the series has featured more than 65 local comedians and built a development pipeline that moves performers from open mic to mainstage showcase. Several alumni have gone on to win national awards and become established regional favorites.

The organization also helped raise $10,000 for local tornado relief efforts, with the fundraising event hosted at Atomic by Jamo.

The series highlights the growing role of cannabis tourism in St. Louis and supports neighborhood business districts including Cherokee Street and The Delmar Loop through experiential programming.

Ongoing Programming

Open Mic Comedy Night continues every first Sunday at Cola Lounge, 2834 Cherokee St., where one participating comedian each month earns a guest spot at the third Friday showcase at The Church.

Expanded 4/20 programming and updates to the Puff Puff Passport initiative will be announced soon.
