May 1, 2025 | 6 PM | Chatham Orpheum Theater
Join us for an unforgettable night of laughter, generosity, and community spirit at the Comedy for a Cause event, hosted by the Cape and Islands United Way on May 1st, 2025, at the Chatham Orpheum Theater.
This isn’t just another night out—it’s your chance to make a lasting impact on local families in need. Every dollar raised will go directly to support Cape Cod’s hunger relief efforts, including local food pantries and critical programs that help our neighbors in need.
Because being hungry is no laughing matter!
