The City of Great Falls Animal Shelter will host its annual Raise the Woof Comedy Night on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at The Do Bar Hall, 1800 3rd Street NW, Great Falls. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for a cocktail hour and silent auction, with the comedy show beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Raise the Woof Comedy Night is the shelter’s largest fundraiser of the year, bringing together laughter, community, and compassion. The evening will feature a wide range of silent auction items and experiences, with all proceeds directly supporting animals in need of shelter, care, and second chances.
This year’s headliner is Jeff Frame, a Helena native returning home to Montana. Known for his every-man style and sharp storytelling, Frame has been featured on FX’s You’re The Worst and Hulu’s Amazing Johnathan documentary, and was a finalist in the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas. He also directed and produced the comedy documentary Bert Kreischer: I Am The Machine.
