Somerville Festival of Dad Jokes
A family-funny event for dad joke lovers of all ages


Father’s Day Sunday June 16th 2-4pm
A fundraiser for the Somerville Weekend Backpack Program
Hosted by Food For Free and the Comedy Studio


$20 to compete, $10 to watch! (Kids 12 and under are our guests!)


If you think you are funny but your family doesn’t or you’re not a dad but you tell jokes like one, we want you!


Join us on Father’s Day for a good laugh as we celebrate the art of the “Dad Joke.” Bring your friends and family to enjoy good food, drinks, and humor at Bow Market’s eateries, shops, and the Comedy Studio! 100% of ticket sales will go to support the Somerville Weekend Backpack Program.


Bring your “best” dad jokes to the festival to compete for our “Pop Corn” Awards and bragging rights. We do not provide laugh tracks so bring your families and friends to cheer you on. Sign up in advance to be a dad joke-ster!


About the Somerville Weekend Backpack Program
Food For Free’s Somerville Weekend Backpack Program sends home two lunches, two breakfasts, milk, and fresh fruit with Somerville students facing food insecurity. The food is discreetly packed in the students’ backpacks each Friday afternoon, ensuring that students are better prepared to learn the following week. The Somerville Weekend Backpack Program is now available to every single elementary and upper school student in Somerville Public Schools.


About Food For Free
Food For Free improves access to healthy food within our community by rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste, strengthening the community food system, and creating new distribution channels to reach under-served populations. We envision a future where everyone in our community—regardless of age, income or ability—has consistent access to fresh, healthy, delicious food. Our current focus is on using schools and colleges to address student and family hunger.


About the Comedy Studio
The Comedy Studio in Union Square has cemented its reputation as the area's top laugh lab. It's also earned a solid reputation among industry heavyweights as a "must-visit" club for anyone seeking cutting-edge performers or writers for future television projects. The Comedy Studio - no better breeding ground around.
