The Laughter Foundation was founded in 2010 by stand-up comedian and television producer Steven Alan Green to support people in the business of laughter and to help bring laughter to the ones who need it the most.
The Laughter Foundation Benefit November 16 @ The Standup Comedy Club Bellflower
I am super-pleased to announce The Laughter Foundation benefit November 16 @ The Standup Comedy Club in Bellflower, California. Only a half hour’s drive from Downtown L.A., this special event guarantees to be a very unique comedy experience and will go towards helping standup comedians deal with life. A great eclectic line-up of comedy talent!
Thank you for supporting comedians.

Great NEWS!
Johnny Buss, the owner of The Los Angeles Lakers, and new owner of The Ice House comedy club in Pasadena, California, has come on board and committed to helping us here at The Laughter Foundation try and make our dreams come true!
That includes helping comedians by introducing them to therapy so that they can better their lives and have an emotional support system in a very mind-f*%king business! AND, to help us build and launch The Comedy Museum. An idea we had since 2009.

The Laughter Foundation is looking for: comedians to perform “clean” comedy, career counselors…

The Laughter Foundation was born of the idea that professional stand-up comedians are an important part of our modern culture and that comedy (the product they create) and laughter (the byproduct) are crucial to society’s health, well-being and indeed survival.
The Laughter Foundation has a variety of working programs providing emergency help, healthcare, career-building tools and support, and job finding services to professional stand-up comedians. The foundation’s community outreach programs bring laughter to elderly, hospices and others who need it the most – because laughter is truly the best medicine.
The Laughter Foundation’s big dream (and long term project) is a fully fledged world-class museum to study and exhibit the art, history and science of comedy. Imagine it: It’s a bright beautiful day in San Francisco (okay, the fog has lifted for 20 seconds). You and your family decide to visit The Comedy Museum. Mom and Dad enjoy exhibits and a wonderful multimedia retrospective of their favorite comedians, while learning about comedy history, as the kids enjoy kids comedy from the past like Howdy Doody or Soupy Sales.
The Laughter Foundation is funded by donations from the community at large, the comedy community, celebrity donors, as well as by proceeds from the fundraising comedy events.
