Hullo! I'm Stephen Allan Green. I'm a stand-up comedian.
I'm also Founder and President of The Laughter Foundation,
A new organization with Three Main Goals: One ...
To support professional comedians. Two ... To build a world-class comedy museum
and Three ... To do nothing less than to make the entire World laugh...
Sounds ambitious? I know. Bear with me... Professional comedians who actually work ...
every night for free ...
should have an institution they can fall back on in financial emergencies.
Imagine being a respected, locally known, stand-up comedian
just, maybe, one week away from your big television break. But ...
Your phone is disconnected for lack of payment. Or, ...
your car needs to be repaired so you can get to a paying gig.
Welcome to The Laughter Foundation, and if you qualify ...
We can help you! We've already saved one comedian from eviction,
Helped another with cancer meds, And have provided meals and beds for professional comedians ...
In L.A., San Francisco, and Beyond.
Stand-up comedians are a very important component of American society.
Perhaps, the funniest component. And, it is our belief that there should be an
institution to be there, just for them, in their times of need.
In addition to helping comedians, The Laughter Foundation is ...
Building a world-class museum ...
To study and exhibit the art, history, and science of Comedy.
There is no doubt in my mind that this country needs The Comedy Museum
Especially, these days! It's time America honors one of its greatest Assets,
Its historical, original, Sense of Humor and the American Comedy Worker, who provides the Funny!
Not just a virtual museum! Not something just online,
Just a click away, although we certainly will have an Internet presence.
No!
The Comedy Museum will be a physical building.
Something that might even outlast the Internet.
A real walk-in, and tour, and experience museum.
We have great ideas! Including exhibits such as:
"Across the Pond: the Influence of British Comedy in America"
"From Hiter to Dahmer: Jokes from the Dark Side", and ...
"Comedy IN Women: From *** Brice to Kathy Griffin".
And, of course, it wouldn't be a comedy museum without a sense of humor:
Therefore, I give you the "Aspirin Walk of Fame"!
Finally, my personal favorite: Comedy Community Outreach --
This is where professional stand-up comedians go out and literally make the
real World laugh!
Whether it's comedy shows for troubled inner-city kids,
Making the elderly laugh in retirement homes,
Or, the Comedy Police, a comedy flash mob designed to awaken ...
Everyday People back to a funny mindset. All of this adds up to one Big Dream!
We have been working on this, behind the scenes, for over three years now.
