Laughs for a Cause at Broken Stick Brewery in Hammond | Brewery | Events

Broken Stick Brewery’s Comedy FUNdraiser turns a Wednesday at Hammond Golf into one of eastern Ontario’s liveliest community nights. Set at 600 Du Golf Rd in Hammond near Alfred, Ontario, the event pairs local craft beer and the region’s sharpest stand-up talent to raise funds for a neighborhood cause. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; the show begins at 7:30, and the format is straightforward: short sets, quick pacing, and plenty of crowd banter. The setting is part brewery, part clubhouse. Guests gather around a low stage and long communal tables under warm lights, with views across the golf course fairways that flatten into rural fields as evening settles. The key features are simple — an intimate performance area, a lively bar serving Broken Stick pints, and the restaurant’s kitchen turning out pizzas and burgers that many fans swear are worth a reservation before the show. It’s a place where the laughter feels like part of the landscape: honest, audible, and contagious. Audience members should expect regional comics who mix observational humor with local references. The vibe is casual and inclusive, with room for families depending on the evening’s tone; check for age restrictions on specific listings. Because it’s a fundraiser, the show often includes surprise segments, raffles, and an appeal to support local initiatives — the kind of grassroots cultural moment that keeps small towns humming. Practicalities make the night work. Parking is available at Hammond Golf; arrive early if you want a table for dinner. Bring valid photo ID for beer service and cash or card for tickets and raffles. If you want a full meal, the advice from regulars is to make a restaurant reservation in advance; the kitchen can get busy once doors open. Accessibility details aren’t listed on the event page, so contact the venue in advance if mobility accommodations are needed. This show matters because it ties together craft beer, live comedy, and community giving in a region where cultural nights are rare but treasured. It’s not just entertainment: it’s an opportunity to meet neighbors, taste local beer, and leave knowing you helped a cause. Whether you’re passing through Alfred, staying for an evening out, or making a night of it from Ottawa, the Comedy FUNdraiser at Broken Stick Brewery offers a sharp, funny, and very human way to experience eastern Ontario’s local scene. The combination of a working microbrewery on the golf course property and a regular live-performance schedule makes this venue unique in the area. Artists rotate frequently, and many nights support local charities and nonprofit projects, which turns evenings into direct community investment. For visitors seeking low-key nightlife after exploring nearby trails and conservation areas, this is a reliable, welcoming stop. locally.
