POP & NEXTOY with the Laugh Factory In Los Angeles

The Laugh Factory event was an enormous success and the first of what will be an annual event! Bob Fuhrer, David Fuhrer and I (Mary Couzin) are already planning 2025! David pulled together an amazing lineup! The 7:45 show was hosted by Gary Cannon with comics Tony Baker, Orny Adams, Caroline Rhea, Dane Cook and Tony Rock. The 10pm show was hosted by Gary Cannon with comics Jimmy O Yang, Caroline Rhea, Mike Marino and Chris Spencer. I have never ever laughed so much in my life. All the comics made fun of toymakers - it was priceless. Tony Rock even incorporated the Goliath Power Saber into his act. Check out the group photo of the last to leave (nobody wanted to) and many of us after two shows.
