Overview
Make Em Laugh, OK is a three-day comedy festival produced by Third Space Society, a Tulsa-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2023 that runs improv classes, free workshops, and house team shows year-round. The festival exclusively showcases comedians and performers with Oklahoma ties, blending improv, sketch, and stand-up on a single bill.
Programming is curated by a panel of comedians, community members, and entertainment producers, with family-friendly Saturday sets that include musical and puppet-based improv alongside short workshops for newcomers. The 2025 edition brought over 50 Oklahoma comedians to Tulsa for free public performances, with all participating artists compensated.
