About Us



The mission of Laugh Support System is to promote humor and healing by presenting humorous speakers and creating quality comedy content for use by caregivers, health care providers, outreach organizations, counselors and anyone who feels he or she can benefit from a healthy dose of the undisputed 'best medicine'.

After 20 years as a booking agent, talent manager and producer in the stand up comedy industry, and a cancer survivor for 12 years Julie Powers believes that humor's health benefits are often overlooked particularly when we need them the most. Her occupation made it necessary for her to keep her sense of humor even after being diagnosed with an ailment that's anything but funny. It is from this awareness and perspective that the desire to promote the health benefits of humor arose.
