Laughing Buddha Comedy

We are a community of aspiring comedians and a leading producer of Showcases and Open Mics. We are also the proud home of the Laughing Buddha Comedy School as featured on the front pages of the Wall Street Journal, and the Tampa Bay Times. Our shows have featured "big name talent with connections.." (NY Times) and branded "Outlandishly Cool" by Every Day Magazine with Ra

chael Ray. Our New Talent industry Showcases are widely recognized for presenting the very best in new talent to networks like MTV and Comedy Central, agencies such as CESD, Avanti Talent Management, Abrams Artists, Buchwald, and clubs such as the Stand, and Catch a Rising Star. Our Showcases have featured drop in A listers of comedy including Louis C.K., Jim Gaffigan, Marc Maron, Janeane Garofalo, Nick DiPaolo, Hannibal Burress, and Judah Friedlander among others. We offer Stand Up Comedy Workshops for all levels, private coaching, and virtual workshops for those out of town. We believe you can't teach the craft of stand up comedy without stage time so we produce quality showcases and open mics in many of the city's top venues. Our industry friends are always looking for fresh talent and, by taking part in our school and our shows, you will have direct access to them. We welcome you to join what many comics say is a community, a home, and a movement. We are always looking for new talent to add to our roster, you can register on our website to be added to our booking list.
