Hosted by Emily Churchill, Rebecca Marquardt and Anna Jane Edmonds and featuring a lineup of special comedy guest stars (stay tuned!), this Comedy Café is packed with laughter and fresh perspectives from some of the best female and non-binary comedians, storytellers, and performers in Los Angeles.

It's the perfect chance to relax, reconnect, and celebrate with the Firecracker community in a welcoming, supportive space.
