The National Comedy Center opened in 2018 and is the nation’s official museum and only national archive dedicated to the art of comedy. The Center is home to immersive exhibits and thousands of artifacts representing comedy’s profound artistic, social, and cultural impacts.

The National Comedy Center’s mission is to provide education on the comedic arts in the form of commentary and contextualization of its bodies of work, telling the vital story of comedy in America across all eras and genres of the art form. The museum celebrates comedy’s great minds and unique voices, while providing an examination of the time-honed creative processes that have elevated comedy to an art.

As a non-profit cultural institution, the National Comedy Center relies on the support of our generous donors and friends to help fulfill its mission. Join us in supporting this important work.
