The Highly-Anticipated Benefit Event will take Place on December 11 at the Comedy Store
LOS ANGELES—“Laughter for Life,” the annual comedy night of the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry, has been on hold for the past two years, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, once again, Los Angeles audiences will have the opportunity to catch one of the city’s most acclaimed comedy events, as “Laughter for Life” returns this month, at the iconic Comedy Store in Hollywood.
The 18th annual “Laughter for Life” features a lineup of renowned stand-up comedians, including Sam Tripoli, Maz Jobrani, Arman Oganesyan, Antic, Amir K, Kira Soltanovich, and Jeff Dye.
“At last, we’ll be able to once more bring the talents of these great performers to comedy-lovers in Los Angeles, and we couldn’t be happier,” said ABMDR president Dr. Frieda Jordan and continued, “‘Laughter for Life” remains one of our most popular benefit events, as it promises to delight event-goers with cutting-edge comedy while benefiting the life-saving mission of our organization.”
“‘Laughter for Life” represents the very best of our community, as everyone comes together for a wonderfully uplifting event and a great cause,” said Lara Yeretsian, Esquire, who chairs the Comedy Night Committee and is a member of the ABMDR Board. Yeretsian and Sam Tripoli co-founded “Laughter for Life” in 2002. Tripoli, who is also a noted podcaster, has hosted the comedy night ever since.
