Jamie Masada is known for a lot of things. As the founder of the ‘Laugh Factory,’ he is credited with establishing Hollywood’s most popular comedy club. But Masada is also a well-known crusader for the underprivileged, homeless and hungry. And now he’s taking it to Congress… kind of.
Last month, President Obama signed the economic stimulus bill, which includes $50M in funding for the arts. Simply put, Masada is proposing that $700,000 be earmarked for a national comedy project to send struggling comics out to perform for the economically depressed.
Look to the Stars is honored to have spoken with Jamie Masada about his tireless efforts to feed the homeless in Los Angeles, what we can do to help, and of course, his quest to fund some comedic relief for the country’s unemployed.
