Brad, I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help with our event on Saturday night. It really was a success. We did phenomenal on our raffle prizes. The guys, all three of the guys were terrific. I got to tell you for the first time in a comedy night at the Bridgeport Elks that everybody was very-very pleased so thank you. Thanks again!

“I just wanted to send a brief, belated note to congratulate you on the outstanding comedy night you organized in Westport a week and a half ago. All three comedians were fabulous and I haven't laughed that hard - and that continuously - in a very long time.”
Mounting a fundraising event with limited manpower and time is not all laughs, but the professionalism and experience of your team and caliber of talent made it look easy and us look good. Thank you!

Field of Dreams
"Connecticut Comedy for Cash really came thru for our organization in providing quality entertainment for our yearly fundraiser on May 10, 2024. The Bridgeport Field of Dreams Foundation has been in existence as a 501-C3 for nine years, and has continually worked with Brad Axelrod and his staff as one of our primary funding sources.
Connecticut Comedy for Cash does a terrific job in slotting their entertainers to your audience demographic, giving the show an "easy connection" between the comedians and your crowd. They also provide the staging accessories - lighting, sound, backdrop - that give your production a "professional feel". A personal "shout out" to longtime host Billy Winn for raising bundles of cash during our live auction segment. You can't go wrong with Connecticut Comedy for Cash for your group's event!"

"...At Homes for the Brave, we serve Men and Women experiencing homelessness, almost all of whom are U.S. Military Veterans. Our facilities are in Bridgeport and West Haven and we also have a Clinical Program, a Vocational Program and a Walk In, Drop In Service Center for Veterans and their Family Members.
When it was time to hold our 8th Annual For Veterans By Veterans Comedy Night in April, 2024, we worked with Connecticut Comedy for Cash. They lined up three professional comics, a Coast Guard Veteran, a Navy Veteran and an Army Veteran, and all three were outstanding. Every detail was flawlessly executed, including the staging, the lighting and the sound system. They also helped with promoting the Show and provided additional promotional material with talent.
Over 270 tickets were sold and attendees raved about the comics. We will be using Connecticut Comedy for Cash again in 2025 and recommend them highly..."
