Project Description
INTERNATIONAL STAND-UP COMEDY FESTIVAL
PRAHAha began when three like-minded individuals attended a German-speaking comedy event in Prague. The event had a room of 150 people laughing for a continuous hour and a half – the effect this had on the co-founders was profound. Immediately following the show they started discussing potential ways of bringing more comedy into the world.
After several hours of conversation, they agreed on establishing a non-profit to organize a comedy festival in their current home city of Prague, Czech Republic. The goal of the festival would be to create a cultural exchange within three languages – English, German, and Czech. This exchange would bring comedians and comedy lovers (new and old) from all over the world together and provide a shared experience.
Just a few short weeks later they had a cool name. They did research and got things done. A few months later they hired over 50 comedians, built a website, signed venue contracts, established a social media presence, and began everything that is needed to make the PRAHAha International Comedy Festival a success.
