Hey there! We’re gearing up for the THIRD Everything is Awesome podiversary , which means it’s time for another one-day festival! We’re changing a few things up this—most notably, the organization we’re partnering with to raise funds for. This year, we’re partnering with the HEADstrong Foundation ( http://headstrong.org ). HEADstrong is not only closer in terms of where their headquarters are located, but they also mean more to me personally.

For those unfamiliar with this event, it started out as a way for Everything is Awesome to celebrate its anniversary, but turned into a way to raise money for cancer awareness when the host’s (and festival organizer’s) uncle lost his battle with cancer. There’s a lot more to the story—feel free to email kgallagher@crudehumorstudios.com to get the whole thing. HEADstrong supports the University of Pennsylvania Hospital and the families with loved ones affected with this terrible disease.

This year, we are proud to partner with them and put together THE 2019 EVERYTHING IS AWESOME HEADSTRONG COMEDY FESTIVAL. Once again, those familiar with the previous years we’ve put together this event will notice COMEDY instead of PODCAST.

We’re opening up the doors for stand-up, improv, and films to be showcased during this event. In doing so, we’ve ensured that we still add an extra show to this year’s lineup; this also means that podcasting makes up over 50% of the festival and, aside from raising money for cancer awareness, is still the focal point of this festival.
