Laugh For Good: Children's Miracle Network
Siouxland Comedy is back with another Laugh For Good — a night of stand-up that gives back to our community.

This show benefits Children's Miracle Network at our local hospital. Every ticket you buy and every dollar of free will donation goes directly to support kids and families receiving care right here in Siouxland.

Headlining: Jacob Womack
Jacob Womack has been entertaining audiences for nearly fifteen years. In 2025, he won "Funniest Comic in Sioux Falls" and "Best Stand-up Comic" at the Sioux Falls Stage Awards — then came back the following year to host the Stage Awards himself. Beyond stand-up, Jacob performs with two improv companies in the Sioux Falls area, works as a DJ and MC, and is a two-time national champion in public speaking. He also played the title role in the 2017 short film "Duffy's Jacket" alongside character actor Doug Jones. His comedy is personal and honest, exploring life as an adult with autism, a teacher, and an entertainer still figuring out what "be yourself" really means.

Featuring: Drew Jr
Drew Junior started his comedy career in 2000 and has taken his clean, quick-witted humor from Minneapolis to Las Vegas and now Sioux City. He's opened for names like Louie Anderson and Nick Swardson. As a Christian comedian, Drew brings joy, connection, and just the right amount of wholesome chaos — his shows are family-friendly, uplifting, and guaranteed to leave your cheeks sore from laughing.

Hosted by: Drake Strong & John Sigmund
