WCF
What this is
The World Comedy Foundation is a public-benefit nonprofit in formation designed to strengthen live comedy as a public art form. We publish clear standards for the offstage corridors around comedy (listings, promotion, hosting logistics), support training, and allocate resources to help local scenes stay stable and welcoming.
What it is not
WCF is not a booking agency and not a marketplace. We do not sell gigs, take commissions, or judge what happens on stage.
What you can do here

• Support public programs and local scenes: Donate.
• Understand standards and trust signals: Standards.

Trust / safety note: Standards are scoped and applied with due process. Verification is not a talent ranking.
