“Laughter keeps everyone feeling wonderful."
- Betty White
Why It matters
Beyond the countless health benefits, laughing together sparks friendships and strengthens connections. Whether you're a senior eager to give stand-up a try or an Entertainment Coordinator dedicated to building a vibrant community, shared laughter makes a real difference. Senior Comedy Community can make those sparks!
"We believe in the power of laughter, connection, and the joy that shared experiences bring."
Stand-up comedy has been a passion for our founder, Amy Huber-Smith, who has been performing stand-up at local Detroit comedy clubs since 2009.
In 2023, when a tragedy forced her mother to move from her home of 40 years into a senior community, Amy saw firsthand how transformative and powerful those rare moments of humor were. Her mother, ever the queen of sarcasm, quipped, “Well, I guess this is one way to make new friends,” sparking the inspiration for what came next. And so, the Senior Comedy Community was born.
At the Senior Comedy Community, we don’t just bring humor to your community—we help you take it to the next level. Through our interactive programs, seniors can learn stand-up comedy themselves, transforming their life stories and experiences into laughter-filled performances. It’s an empowering and unforgettable way to turn everyday moments into something extraordinary.
