Jokes for Hope

Jokes for Hope is an evening of stand-up that turns a great night out into real community impact. Co-hosted by the Chi Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and the Chicago Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (CMAC), the show brings comedy lovers together for a cause.

The 2026 show

Thursday, November 12, 2026 at the Harold Washington Cultural Center, 4701 S. King Dr., Chicago. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the show begins at 7:30 PM. The comedian lineup and ticket details will be announced soon.

Where the money goes

Net proceeds are shared equally between the two host chapters to power their year-round service across Chicago. The 2025 show funded a community coat drive that put warm winter coats directly into the hands of neighbors in need.

To reserve tickets, sponsor a table, or learn more, contact the chapter.
