Los Angeles, CA – July 8, 2009 – The Laugh Factory continues with its mission to cheer people up during this terrible economic crisis with Furlough Friday shows. Every Friday at 8pm the Laugh Factory is offering free admission to its All Star Comedy Show, to anybody who can show proof of taking furlough that day.

California state employees already under financial burdens were angered by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's order that they take two days off without pay each month. Since the onset of this economic crisis, Laugh Factory owner, Jamie Masada has been making several efforts to bring happiness to as many people as possible. Masada says, “Laugh Factory Hollywood and Long Beach and all of our comedians feel like we have a serious responsibility to cheer people up from their troubles and worries. Even if it’s only for a couple of hours, a comedy show can have a tremendous healing effect on a person’s state of mind.
