Andrew Michaels | Working Comic
"I love laughing buddha! I have been in shows that were full and others with very few people and I like that they never cancel a show. That is really good for the comics morale and practice.
Yaitza Rivera | Working Comic
"Laughing Buddha offers better quality open mics, venues for comics to grow and hone their craft, and comedy club shows where new comics perform alongside seasoned vets. Loads of fun!
Timmy Daniels | Working Comic
"It's thanks to LBC that I've been able to work out any material at all! The hosts of the open mics/shows are very nice and professional. Honestly, it's just a big and well-oiled machine. Extremely grateful to them."
Isaac Mijares | Working Comic
"I took the Six Week Workshop and it was truly an invaluable experience. I performed with Marc Maron and Todd Barry in the class showcase and I was seen by Greg Kelly, co-anchor of Good Day New York, in the LBC show at the Stand and he invited me to perform on the show!"
Jesse Eigner Comic | Good Day NY
"From hosting mics to taking workshops, over the last few years I've been able to get paid work at Catch a Rising Star, paid spots at the Stand, and recently got passed for development at Broadway Comedy Club. All thanks to LBC!"
Patrick Holbert | Working Comic
"I began by doing an open mic, then an industry show, then the Six Week Stand Up Workshop. Since then, I've become a regular open mic host, performed and hosted on the weekend Pro Shows, and met with Agents / Bookers at the Stand. I'm still early in my comedy career, but Laughing Buddha has given me numerous opportunities"
Brendan Naranjo | Working Comic
“I got involved with Laughing Buddha Comedy and Jeff Lawrence, and began performing in sold out industry showcases. Thanks Laughing Buddha Comedy!”
