How you can help
Comedic Pursuits accepts many different kinds of contributions, but there are a few main things you can do to help out.
Write a post
Comedic Pursuits is based on sharing ideas and know-how. If you think you understand a comedic concept really well, pitch it. If you know the ins and outs of some facet of the DC comedy world, pitch it. If a comedy idea has been floating around in your brain, and you want the world to know, pitch it.
It’s as simple as filling out the pitch form with a summary of the post you’d like to write or see on Comedic Pursuits. We can’t guarantee that all ideas or pitches will get picked up, but we’ll read every single pitch.
Don’t feel like your writing is up to snuff? That’s totally fine! If the subject of your post is interesting, we’ll do our best to get it on the blog by interviewing you about it or providing edits for written work.

Send funding
It costs money to run a website. And it costs time to write posts, create podcasts, design Instagram photos, and track down comedy events happening citywide. Comedic Pursuits is currently funded through the goodness of our hearts and the money we’ve found between couch cushions. However, we’ve been told that that’s not a viable business plan.
We accept monetary contributions through our PayPal account.
100% of all contributions will go directly to maintaining and improving the Comedic Pursuits site or funding the creation of Comedic Pursuits content.
If you like the site, consider sending a few dollars our way.
Let us know what you want
One of the best ways you can contribute to this site is by letting us know what you’d like to see from it. Think you could use a member portal? Great, we can work on that. Want more of a certain type of content? Perfect, we want to know what it is. Know of a performer, writer, or group whose work you’d like to see featured on the blog? Amazing, tell us who they are.
The main goal of this blog is to serve the DC comedy community, so please let us know how we can best do that.
Again, you can get in touch by:
- Sending an email to kanderson@comedicpursuits.com
- Sending a direct Facebook message to Comedic Pursuits
