Hi there,

Join NYLaughs and Help Us Build Community One Laugh at a Time!

NYLaughs, Inc. ( www.nylaughs.org) is a one-of-a-kind 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings joy to the five boroughs by producing free stand-up comedy shows in NYC’s public spaces. Our flagship series, Laughter in the Park, transforms city parks into places of connection, creativity, and a whole lot of cackling.

We’re on a mission to strengthen the human connection through humor - and to raise the profile of stand-up comedy as a legitimate and vital art form. At our shows, you’ll see an audience that reflects the full, vibrant spectrum of NYC: every age, background, race, religion, and walk of life. Laughter unites us - and we’re building a more connected city, one joke at a time.

We’re currently looking for someone with a proven track record of creating and selling fully integrated marketing programs to help take NYLaughs to the next level. We've already launched two bold new comedy festivals - at Union Square and Pier 57 - and we're cooking up a third in Battery Park City. We need someone with hustle, heart, and an entrepreneurial spirit - someone who can help us dream up strategy and make it real.

If you’re passionate about making people laugh, lifting up diverse voices, and building community in the process - we’d love to talk. Come help us spread the funny and make NYC a little brighter.

Hope you’ll consider joining us as a volunteer on this joyful journey.

Mission Statement

Using the Power of Laughter to Build a Better NYC NYLaughs is a 501(c)(3) performing arts nonprofit that brings stand-up comedy to NYC’s public spaces--free and accessible to all. We believe comedy isn’t just entertainment; it’s an essential art form that reflects the city’s diversity, resilience, and soul. Our mission is to create joyful, inclusive, and communal experiences through live performances that foster connection and celebrate comedy as a cultural force. By removing barriers to access, we spotlight underrepresented voices, strengthen community ties, and remind New Yorkers that laughter can heal, unite, and uplift. From parks to plazas, we’re turning sidewalks into stages and neighbors into audiences. Because in a city that never sleeps, we all need a good laugh. A laughing New Yorker is a better New Yorker (and way less cranky on the subway)!

Description

NYLaughs: We Bring the Funny. For Free.

NYLaughs celebrates stand-up as a vital, highbrow cultural asset while keeping it raw, real, and radically accessible.
We spotlight diverse voices that reflect NYC’s vibrant fabric. Our shows aren’t just about laughs-they’re about connection, resilience, and turning strangers into neighbors, one joke at a time. From seniors to kids, recovery groups to comedy nerds, our audiences mirror the city: wide-ranging, unexpected, and delightfully weird.
We do this because stand-up is more than punchlines-it’s therapy, it's truth-telling, it's communal joy. Laughter boosts mental wellness, builds bridges, and yes, it’s cheaper than therapy.
We dream of becoming the Public Theater of comedy-elevating the art form while keeping it rooted in the people. Whether it’s a comic performing with their baby strapped to their chest or someone hugging us after a show, we know: laughter is magic.
No drink minimums. No velvet ropes. Just joy, free for all.
So pull up a lawn chair, donate if you can, and follow us into the funniest future NYC's ever seen.
