Stand-Up for Nederland: A Comedy Benefit for Relief and Recovery

Join three of Boulder’s own Comedy Works headliners – Vinnie Montez, Nancy Norton, and John Novosad – for an unforgettable night of laughter and community support for Nederland.

On October 9, a devastating fire tore through the heart of Nederland, destroying 18 businesses that formed the center of town. This special comedy benefit brings together three nationally recognized comedians to help raise funds for relief and recovery efforts supporting the Town of Nederland. Event proceeds will go directly toward Nederland’s ongoing recovery efforts.

Expect a night filled with sharp wit, heartfelt moments, and the unifying power of laughter.
