Acts of charity

On December 8, 2010, at 4:38 pm, the Laugh Factory broke the Guinness World Record for "Longest Continuous Stand Up Comedy Show (Multiple Comedians)". The record was previously held by Comic Strip Live that set the original record of 50 hours. The Laugh Factory surpassed 50 hours on Wednesday and continued non-stop until 10:38 pm, Thursday, December 9, setting a new record of 80 hours. Dom Irrera was on stage when the record was broken, and Deon Cole was on stage when the new record was set. The event, titled "Toy to the World", was paired with a Toy Drive for Children's Hospital. Over 130 different comedians performed, and the event was live-streamed over the internet. The Laugh Factory held this record until April 15, 2015, when the record was broken by jokesters at The East Room in Nashville, Tennessee.

Charity fundraisers have been held at the club, including benefit nights for the Red Cross, USO, Cops for Causes, Comics Without Borders, Wounded Warriors, Middle Eastern Comedy Fest, and Stand Up for India.
