2026 Theme
Anchored
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”
(Hebrews 6:19)In work that can feel unstable, where gigs come and go and crowds react differently every night, you need something deeper than applause to hold you.This retreat invites you to fix your hope on Jesus, let Him steady your heart, and surround yourself with other comics who help you stay grounded in your faith, your character, and your calling.
Featured Speaker

Our History
A Legacy of Laughs and Faith
More than 20 years ago, a small group of Christian comedians gathered to stop doing this work alone and birthed what became the Christian Comedy Association.Since then, CCA has grown into a nationwide community where comics find real friendship, spiritual encouragement, and a place to sharpen their craft with other professionals.When you come to this year’s retreat, you’re stepping into that legacy and adding your own voice to the story God is telling through Christian comedy.
