Every year, the owner of Laugh Factory, Jamie Masada, reaches out to underprivileged children in the community to join Comedy Camp. The camp provides a safe haven for at risk or underprivileged children and inspires them to transform all of their negative energy into something positive. Masada and other famous comedians have been teaching children each summer to take their frustrations, anger and hurt to the stage and use stand up comedy as a way to inspire confidence and hope, proving that laughter truly is the best medicine. All the aspiring young comedians are interviewed and evaluated based on their desire to perform stand up comedy. The program is free of charge for those chosen, and a graduation ceremony is held at the end of the ten-week camp where each child performs a six-minute comedy set on stage in front of friends and family.
