Los Angeles Brings Home the World Record

for the Longest Continuous Stand-Up Show Ever
from New York City
HOLLYWOOD — Dec 10, 2010 — For Immediate Release — On Monday, December 6, the World
Famous Laugh Factory began hosting the longest continuous Stand-Up Comedy performance ever. The
Guinness World Record of 50 hours, set in New York City in 2008, was broken Wednesday afternoon at
4:38PM while comedian Dom Irrera, star of the hit cable series, Supreme Court of Comedy, was on the
stage and the show continued until 10pm the following night putting the new record at 80 hours. “Los
Angeles is the entertainment capitol of the world and I have always felt that record that belonged to Los
Angeles,” said Laugh Factory owner, Jamie Masada.

The show kicked off on Monday at 2pm with comedian Paul Rodriguez doing a 40 minute set, and was
followed by Tom Arnold, Dave Chappelle, Maz Jobrani, Jamie Kennedy, Natash Leggero, Paul Mooney,
Kevin Nealon, and over 200 more of the country’s greatest comedians. The 80 hour laugh-a-thon
concluded with Tim Allen, performing for an hour. The Santa Claus star lived up to his reputation and
arrived with 10 full boxes of toys for underprivileged families.

The event had a comedian on stage around the clock for 80 continuous hours. There was also a special
section designated for those wishing to attempt to set a record for the most “enduring audience member”
which Katinka Holiday achieved by watching the show for 76 hours! Ms. Holiday said, “Laughter is the
best medicine and I figured this was better than getting a flu shot.”
