For the past 4 years, Upstage Comedy Lounge has been a home for comedy, community, and culture in San Antonio. From veteran appreciation nights and open mics to national headliners and local showcases, this stage has been a place where laughter brings people together.

Recently, we announced that we would be closing our doors. But the overwhelming support from the community reminded us how much this club means to San Antonio — and that we have to fight to keep it alive.

Right now, we need your help to cover urgent costs and keep the doors open:

$4,000 – IRS payment to settle immediate obligations

$4,000 – Rent payment to keep our space secure

Total Goal: $6,000

Every dollar will go directly toward these critical expenses. Once these are covered, we’ll be able to stabilize operations and continue bringing shows, festivals, and opportunities to the community.

How you can help:

Donate – Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to saving the club.

Share – Spread the word on Facebook, Instagram, and with friends.

Support – Come out to shows, tag us, and keep Upstage Comedy Lounge part of the San Antonio story.

We believe laughter heals, unites, and empowers. With your help, the show will go on.

Thank you for standing with us.
