What do you get when you mix comedy, community, and a cause worth rallying behind? A night like no other.

The Nest Owl 360 Comedy Fundraiser brought heart and humor together to shine a spotlight on the critical need for affordable housing and career pathway programs for Jefferson County youth on July 30th at the Northwest Maritime Center. The event, co-hosted by The Agency's Managing Director, Holley Carlson and comedian Bridget Bryan Young packed the house and was an unforgettable evening of connection, generosity, and purpose-driven fun.

Thanks to the collective efforts of The Agency Port Townsend team of brokers, along with the incredible community support, nearly $20,000 was raised—an amount matched generously to double the impact. These donations directly support programs that provide safe housing, career mentorship, and the foundation young people need to build independent, thriving futures.

A huge round of applause goes to comedian Bridget Brian Young, who kept the room laughing all night long. As a longtime friend of Holley Carlson, Bridget not only brought the comedy—she brought the heart. Her performance was a reminder that joy and generosity go hand in hand when a community shows up with intention.

This night proved something powerful: when we come together, we create real, lasting change. From every laugh to every dollar donated, the Nest Owl 360 was a celebration of what’s possible when community commitment leads the way.

Here’s to the power of purpose, partnership, and Port Townsend.
