Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our desired outcomes for the Fall 2020 festival are attendance of 180 across the three fall shows;attendees increase their understanding of the multitude of different forms of comedy performance; and most attendees have a great time laughing together as community. We well measure audience through ticket sales and will measure other outcomes via post-performance survey using Survey Monkey. We also will survey participating artists after their performance.
