One Brick volunteers have been a part of this amazing event since 2009!

What we'll be doing:

One Brick volunteers will work backstage. Volunteers will help backstage pre-show & during the show they will be either backstage helping with the food & beverages or out in the front assisting some of the beverage vendors.

What you should know:

Volunteers are responsible for their own parking, and parking may be difficult; please allow extra time to find parking prior to the check in time. Remove anything of value from plain sight within your vehicle as vehicle break ins are common in this area.  Use public transit or Uber/Lyft if possible.

This is an outdoor event; the volunteers should dress appropriately for the weather conditions. This includes wearing a hat or applying sunblock. Food handling gloves will be available.

A Comedy Day t-shirt and volunteer credential for volunteers to keep will be provided to all volunteers and must be worn during your volunteer shift.

Although this is an outdoor event organizers have announced that face masks that cover your nose and mouth are still required and must be properly worn inside the food and beverage tent.  The food and beverage tent has walls on three sides with one side open facing the back of the stage.  There is a partial opening on the back wall as well.
