Since the pandemic hit in April 2020, Comedy Gives Back has granted hundreds of thousands of dollars to working comedians experiencing hardship. Comedy Gives Back has hosted recovery meetings at festivals such as Netflix is a Joke, Just for Laughs Montreal, and Moontower Comedy Festival. They have also sponsored mental health services for dozens of comedians and paid for chemical dependency treatments. Comedy Gives Back actively partners with organizations and entities such as The New York Comedy Festival, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services, the Brody Stevens Festival of Friendship 818 Walk, and more.
Mission statement: Comedy Gives Back is the safety net of the comedy community. Founded in 2011 by Jodi Lieberman, Amber J Lawson, and Zoe Friedman, Comedy Gives Back was created to give comedians resources to turn to when times get tough. Comedy Gives Back is the safety net for the comedy community providing financial crisis relief, mental health and chemical dependency treatment sponsorship and continued community support. Being alone onstage is a part of the job of a stand-up comedian, but feeling alone offstage is unacceptable.
