We Don't Book
Celebrities.
We Grow Them.
In 2010, The Laugh Tour started as a scrappy touring pop-up with one mission: give stage time to the funniest people in the room, whether anyone knew their names or not. The bet paid off.
Then 2020 hit. Rich pivoted to Zoom shows to survive — and lost his partner to COVID. A heartbreak that could've ended everything. Instead, he came back swinging. 2021: relaunched with a permanent home inside Dorrian's, Jersey City.
"He knows what it feels like to die on stage and what it takes to kill. That's why he spots it and nurtures it."
— On founder Rich Kiamco, comedian & owner

How We Keep Selling Out
Stage time at The Laugh Tour isn’t about who you know. It’s about how hard you make people laugh.
The Process:
Submit an audition tape
Earn a 6-minute live audition
Crush it? Come back.
Consistency? Your family.
No shortcuts. No politics. No, “my friend knows the booker.”
Just pure, unfiltered kill rate.
We See Them First
That’s how we found Zarna Garg and Gianmarco Soresi before their explosion.
That’s how we spotted Learnmore Jonasi performing on Zoom in Zimbabwe and gave him early U.S. stage time — before his AGT Golden Buzzer moment shocked the world.
We see them first. You laugh first. The world catches up later.
And you? You get the bragging rights.
