This group of friends gathered to support causes we believe in by producing livestreamed comedy improv shows! We produce shows at least once a month streamed to You Tube with links in the comments to a particular cause we support including ActBlue.com links to politicians we support, personal PayPal links to personal fundraising causes, and charity organizations we believe in. We perform under the name “Whose Cause Is It Anyway” and also “Whose Election Is It Anyway” and “Whose Virus Is It Anyway?”
Causes we have supported include:
- Act Blue Fundraising for many candidates and issues we believe in: https://secure.actblue.com/
- The Trevor Project in support of LGBTQ+ Youth https://www.thetrevorproject.org/
- Personal fundraising for a friend fighting cancer: PayPal via Mr.Wednesday1066 AT gmail DOT com
- Stacey Abrams Fair Fight Initiative https://secure.actblue.com/donate/comedyfairfight
- Fredericksburg, VA Regional Food Bank https://fredfood.org

I’m interested in joining you for one of your improv sessions for causes. I met Lara on a community improv jam online and would love to connect
