Ep 871 : Comedy Gives Back With Co-Founders Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson.

Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm very excited to have two incredible people joining me who are doing something really important for the comedy community — Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back. Comedy is supposed to make people laugh, but behind the scenes, comedians are dealing with many of the same struggles everybody else faces — mental health, addiction, financial problems, and just the pressures of trying to make a living in this business. Zoe and Amber saw that there was a real need for comedians to have somewhere to turn, and they built Comedy Gives Back to provide support, resources, and a safety net for people in the comedy community when they need it most. Today we're going to talk about how Comedy Gives Back started, why this organization is so important, what they're seeing within the comedy world right now, and what comedians can do if they're struggling or simply need some help. This is a really meaningful conversation, and I'm honored to have them here. Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back — right now on Let There Be Talk.
