Performer
What this is
Performer is the quick start for comedians and performing artists: how to use WCW responsibly, how WCF standards and funding relate to your work, and how WCC helps organize locally.
What it is not
This is not an agent, a booking guarantee, or a certification of comedic “quality.” Verification is standards-based status, not an endorsement.

• Find the right place to report safety concerns, policy violations, or bad-faith behavior.
Trust / safety note: When details matter, follow links to the canonical standard or policy page.
