Comedians making a social impact - we LOVE to see it! Jon Laster is a phenomenal comedian you can catch at the Comedy Cellar any night of the week, AND he has an app that allows you to find which businesses are Black owned so you can patronize them! It's called BLAPP and you should get it.
We talk gentrification, and ways we can take it upon ourselves to help marginalized communities.
Also it's funny?! STFU, THERE'S NO WAY IT CAN BE FUNNY AND INFORMATIVE?!?!

Chris Blackwood fundraises in Washington, DC with comedy shows. We fundraise with comedy shows in New York! Isn't that just the craziest?? It is always weird standing in front of a room full of people who genuinely improve the planet with their work, earnestly hoping to make a marginal contribution with a joke about your genitalia. It's a mindset few people know about and it was nice talking with Chris about how we can use comedy shows to support your favorite cause!

We talk to author, speaker, and activist from Australia, Tofe Evans about the mental health of people talking to people about mental health. There is a whole industry of people telling us what is best for us - whether they are nutritionists, mental health experts, or mega church pastors. The reality often is that the more certain they are of what they are teaching, the less you should listen to them.
Franqi and Stephen are being asked to talk more and more about mental health while simultaneously going through some mental health spills themselves. Talking with Tofe made that seem alright. He's a warm dude that is navigating through life like the rest of us, and sometimes that's who we need to be talking to much more than self-proclaimed "experts"

Tola Lawal is one of the most impressive entrepreneur / philanthropist / hustlers we've had the opportunity to speak to. She has created a network and mentoring program for Black girls to get experience in large corporate and arts-oriented environments so they are exposed to new opportunities and new networks. It's a truly revolutionary way to "reach back" and we LOVED speaking with her.

Pat and Lo are maybe my favorite people ever! While weed legalization gets on its way in New York, WOCC is working to make sure Black women have a seat at the table. Traditionally wealthy white entrepreneurs are the ones who move in once legalization takes place (ie Denver), and these guys are working to make sure the promise of equitable distribution is realized.
We LOVED talking with Pat and Lo AND we are starting a monthly (in person!) comedy show with WOCC in Bushwick on July 22nd. Give it a listen, support WOCC and come laugh with us in July!
