Jamie Masada, founder of the world famous Laugh Factory comedy club, is calling on Congress to act immediately on a $700 thousand comedy bail-out which he calls an “Economic Cheer-Up.”

The plan is to use the requested funds to dispatch 10-20 buses, each filled with several comedians, throughout the United States to bring free comedy shows, food and beverages to Americans who are out of work or otherwise suffering from the current economic climate.

Already, Masada is opening up his Sunset Blvd. club for free on Thursday nights for any patron who brings a valid unemployment card.

“Comedy is healing,” Masada said on this week’s Radio Happy Hour, “Comedy gives people hope.”

Masada says he’s already sent a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D – CA) but has yet to get a response from the congresswoman.  His next step is to collect 20,000 signatures on a petition found at www.LaughFactory.com and send it to President Barack Obama.

Today, Masada’s Laugh Factory sent comedians out to NBC’s Burbank, CA studio to plead their case to the president.  Obama is scheduled to be the first sitting president to appear on The Tonight Show tonight. One comic was interviewed on Good Day LA below:
