When it comes to children, every man will tell you that it’s great making them, but expensive to manage them. Los Angeles comedian Jack Jr. uses a brief comedic set inside of The Laugh Factory in Hollywood, California to inform us how $1100 a month can add up and it makes him feel some type of way.
Jack Assadourian Jr. was born and raised in Southern California to a Mexican and Armenian family. Jack’s diverse family background and his parents also owning the HaHa Comedy Club in North Hollywood has given Jack a unique stage presence as well as an interesting view of the comic scene. As the son of comedy club owners, Jack essentially grew up in the comedy scene, and over the years made the transition from spectator to on-stage performer. Over the last few years, he has delved into the acting and writing world and has moved his way up the ladder to find himself traveling across the country featuring the likes of Marlon Wayans, Brandon T. Jackson, Damon Wayans Jr, and David Spade. His most recent and iconic endeavor has been the creation of the NoHo Comedy Festival, a festival that attracted some of the country’s most talented comedians. Today, he can be found headlining in clubs across the country, guest-starring in movies like 50 Shades of Black, as well as participating in popular podcasts like The Church of What’s Happening Now with Joey Diaz and Date Fails with Kate Quigley.
Opening its doors in 1979, the World Famous Laugh Factory has been recognized as “the #1 comedy club in the country” by such high-profile media as USA Today. With southern California locations in Hollywood (its original Sunset Boulevard locale) and Long Beach (opened in 2008), comedy’s top stars, as well as today’s brightest emerging talent, shine on its legendary stage.
Founder Jamie Masada, the driving force behind the Laugh Factory, is revered as a pioneer and innovator and is an iconic name on the comedy scene. He was and continues to be instrumental in launching the careers of many of today’s biggest comics. The New York Daily News called him the “Real King of Comedy.” His knowledge and expertise have made him the leading authority on all things comedy and his advice is highly regarded by the entertainment industry’s top power brokers.
