Our mission is to empower LGBTQIA+ and women in comedy, arts and community. In an industry still heavily dominated by straight, white, cisgender men, we need opportunities created by and for us. We are not an LLC or nonprofit but rely on individual contributions.
In 2022, Lavender Laughs launched in New York City with shows and open mics. As of 2025, Lavender Laughs NYC operates in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. We have sibling organizations in Kitchener-Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) and Chicago, each produced independently. If you are interested in bringing Lavender Laughs to your community, or seek to collaborate with our team, contact nyc@lavenderlaughs.org.
