The world-famous Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada is launching a weekly midnight Lesbian and Gay show, Thank Gays It’s Friday, on Friday, September 19th. In 1982, The Laugh Factory was the only comedy club that launched the first-ever mainstream gay stand up show, Coming Out of the Closet, which ran for 18 years. “LA needs a weekly show like this again and we will reinvent this show genre as The Laugh Factory wants to be the fun Friday midnight destination,” says Masada.
The Thank Gays It’s Friday show will feature LGBT comics and will spotlight gay-friendly comics. Midnight shows usually feature more risque performances, which push the live comedy envelope for the late-night fans. The Laugh Factory enjoys the celebrity factor on TMZ, as celeb hot spot “Hyde” club is its neighbor, drawing many celebrities. Comics who are interested in getting booked: TGIFcomedy@gmail.com
