Get ready for an amazing night as The Stand Up Comedy Club proudly presents ComedyfestLA in Bellflower!

On any given day there are about 425,000 youth in foster care. Nearly 20,000 age out annually at age 18-21 and are expected to be financially and emotionally self-sufficient. Once transition aged youth (TAY) age out of foster care, homelessness and unemployment become a huge issue and within 4 years:
70% will be on government assistance
25% will not have completed high school
Less than 12% will ever earn a college degree
50% will have no earnings
With over 10.44 million jobs in 2021 nationwide, many TAY are not in a position to be employed. With these grim facts She Ready Foundation recognizes these young people as the most vulnerable and focus to gain them employment & productive lifestyles through our internship program.
Not only comedy but music too, with a talented DJ to keep spinning the latest tunes as well as musical performances from recording artist Castella.
This festival will showcase the best of the best, ensuring a diverse and unforgettable entertainment experience with food vendors from all over Southern California, merch booths, a full bar, and a beer garden to chill and relax and a DJ!!.
