Why Your Next Fundraising Event Needs a Comedian (Yes, Really)

Why Your Next Fundraising Event Needs a Comedian (Yes, Really)And not just any comedian—a trained fundraiser with a heart for ministry.

If you're part of a Christian nonprofit, you already know that hosting a great fundraising event can make or break your year. But here’s a bold idea you may not have considered: your best speaker might not be a preacher, professor, or polished exec—it might just be a comedian.

Before you scroll away, hear me out.

Laughter Opens Hearts

There’s something sacred about laughter. It breaks down walls, disarms defenses, and reminds us we’re human. And in the context of a fundraising event, that’s gold. A good comedian doesn’t just make people laugh—they connect. They tell the truth in a way that sneaks past our mental filters and goes straight to the heart.

A great comedian can have your audience laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. That emotional journey is powerful, and when connected to a life-changing mission, it becomes unforgettable.

Stories That Stir the Soul (and the Wallet)

Comedy is more than jokes. It’s storytelling. And when a comedian shares a compelling story—especially one rooted in faith, hope, and real-life impact—it moves people to action. That’s why more and more ministries are turning to comedians who understand both the stage and the stewardship of a moment.

Imagine your guests laughing until their sides hurt… and then being moved to tears by a story of a life changed through your ministry. That kind of emotional connection leads to generous giving—not out of guilt, but out of inspiration.

The Right Comedian Makes All the Difference

Not every comedian can handle a fundraising event, especially one for a Christian nonprofit. You need someone who:

• Respects your mission

• Honors your faith

• Knows how to ask boldly but graciously

• And can read the room like a seasoned pro

That’s where I come in.

Why I Might Be the Right Fit for Your Event

I’m a Christian comedian who tours the country performing at fundraising events, churches, keynotes, and even the occasional comedy club. But I’m not just about laughs—I’m also a trained professional fundraiser with a background in pastoral ministry. I’ve been a pastor for over 20 years, and I understand the weight and wonder of doing Kingdom work.

My family’s story is part of what shapes the message I share. We adopted a child from Uganda who wouldn’t have survived without life-saving surgery. That journey was filled with tears, miracles, and God’s undeniable hand. Telling that story has inspired thousands to donate to ministries focused on children, orphan care, and life-saving outreach across the U.S.

When I step on stage, I’m not just trying to be funny—I’m trying to open hearts to the work God is doing through ministries like yours. I’ve seen audiences give generously not because they were asked, but because they were moved.

If you're planning a fundraising event, let’s talk. I’d be honored to help you raise both funds and faith in a room full of potential partners.

Let’s make them laugh.

Let’s make them cry.

Let’s show them the impact they can have.
