Second Chance Comedy Presents: “We’re All Doing Great” (And Other Lies) A Fundraiser for Make Mental Health Matter 🕢 Doors at 6:00 PM | Show at 6:30 PM 📅 Saturday, August 8th, 2026 Comedy that hits home - and gives back. Join us for a powerful night of stand-up that blends humor, heart, and healing. This isn’t just a comedy show - it’s a fundraiser for Make Mental Health Matter, a nonprofit working to break the stigma around mental health and suicide through education and community action. 50% of all profits from the show go directly to Make Mental Health Matter. The lineup features comedians who don’t shy away from the tough stuff - they dive into it, laugh about it, and invite you to do the same. 🎤 Featuring: Christie Buchele (Headliner) - Christie Buchele is a Denver-based stand-up comedian known for her sharp, fearless comedy about life, disability, and the absurdity of being human. She's been featured on Viceland, NBC, and Fox, performed at festivals including High Plains and Limestone, and has opened for comics like Marc Maron, David Cross, and Josh Blue. A former co-host of the award-winning podcast Empty Girlfriend and a longtime fixture in the Denver comedy scene, Christie has built a reputation for comedy that's smart, brutally honest, and unapologetically funny. With a style that's equal parts biting, self-aware, and a little bit sweet, Christie proves you can get away with saying almost anything if it's funny enough. Joe Huisman (Feature) - Joe Huisman, founder and creator of Second Chance Comedy, is living proof that you can turn your life around—and make people laugh while doing it. A customer support executive by day, Joe started doing standup comedy in 2023. Years ago, Joe battled a crack addiction, and now he uses those past struggles as comedic fuel, transforming tough experiences into hilarious anecdotes. His comedy not only brings laughter but also gives back to the community, with a portion of proceeds supporting Sobriety House.
