What we’re about
I hugged a stranger in a parking lot earlier this week and he started to cry. He had just lost his wife and I didn’t know it. Everybody’s going through a battle right now and we need human connection more than ever. Hugs, kindness, playfulness. Anything to keep us up. Good interactions can refresh people more than you know. If you’re in a good mood, spread it.
This group is organized around the simple philosophy of being kind and expressing positivity to one another. If someone at an event appears shy and is being left out from things, bring them in. Strike up a conversation with someone you might normally ignore. Prejudices and hatred will not be tolerated, nor will anyone taking advantage of others' kindness. Don't use these events to try to enhance your social standing or try to hook up with someone. We're just here to have a good time with positive people.
As far as activities go, this group is designed to be pretty broad in scope. Some events might be outdoorsy, some might involve meeting up at a restaurant to socialize or play games, there may be events centered around concerts or the arts, etc. Basically, anything people are interested in doing will be considered, the only real organizing theme is the group philosophy.

- Comedian Whitney CummingsThe Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club, San Antonio, TX
WHITNEY CUMMINGS is a Los Angeles-based comedian, actor, writer, producer and director. Best known for creating and starring in the NBC series “Whitney,” she also cocreated and co-wrote (with Michael Patrick King) the Emmy-nominated CBS comedy series “2 Broke Girls.”
In November 2019, Whitney launched her own podcast titled “Good For You” which features Whitney sitting down to interview both her friends and experts from a variety of fields. “Good For You” is self-produced by Whitney alongside Made By Super and records in Los Angeles. New episodes are released on Wednesdays.
Whitney debuted her fourth stand up special, “Can I Touch It?” on Netflix in July 2019. The special featured Whitney’s take on everything, including her signature incisive commentary on gender dynamics and why we should give sex robots a chance. “Can I Touch It?” was filmed at the Sidney Harmon Hall in Whitney’s hometown of Washington, DC.
In October 2017, Whitney debuted her novel “I’m Fine…And Other Lies,” which detailed her brutal anxiety and codependency disorder, written with her trademark entertaining wit, humor, and honesty. That same year, Whitney made her directorial debut with the feature adaptation of Louann Brizendine’s best-seller, "The Female Brain". In addition to co-writing and directing, she stars alongside Sofia Vergara, James Marsden, Lucy Punch, Toby Kebbell, Cecily Strong, Beanie Feldstein, and Blake Griffin. “The Female Brain” comically details the inner workings and complex power of brain chemistry among couples at different stages of their relationships. The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was distributed by IFC.
On the big screen, Whitney was last seen in “Unforgettable” for Warner Bros. Past feature film credits include “The Wedding Ringer,” “Made of Honor,” and “The Ridiculous Six.” Whitney has appeared in such series as “Undateable,” “Workaholics,” “Maron” and the Comedy Central Roasts, which have solidified her presence in comedy television.
Her first one-hour stand up special, “Money Shot,” premiered on Comedy Central in August 2010 and was nominated for an American Comedy Award. Her second one-hour stand-up special, “Whitney Cummings: I Love You,” debuted on Comedy Central in June 2014. Her third one-hour stand-up special “I’m Your Girlfriend,” aired on HBO in 2016.
