OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
We support each and every one of you and we hope that you will apply again if not accepted this time around. We encourage you to attend the festival regardless of your acceptance status if it’s feasible for you. All applicants, regardless of acceptance status, will be given a stand-by pass to the festival and free access to panels and parties. We are seeking onsite volunteers for our production team (red carpet opening night, ushers/greeters, closing night party, running crew) during the festival, which is a great way to get a behind-the-scenes feel for what goes on at CWASPF and is a great way to get to know other comedians.

We are also seeking interns and volunteers to be part of our festival planning committee! If you got skills in MARKETING, GRAPHIC DESIGN, FUNDRAISING, etc we would love to here from you!

​Please do keep in touch throughout the year. We’re so grateful you’ve chosen to share your hard work with us.
