From a One-Time Show to So Much More
We’re All Connected!
Thank You For Coming Out grew from the need for a more diverse show in the New York City improv comedy scene dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ coming out stories and journeys.
Now over six years running, TYFCO has expanded to be a vast network of improvisers, performers, artists, and allies, a podcast platform, and a consultancy service that provides workshop and training services geared to creating a more equitable and just world.
