In collaboration with The Laugh Button Records, Gilda’s LaughFest released a comedy album called “Gilda’s LaughFest: seriously funny” on Friday.
The album will feature comedians Kermet Apio, Joe Zimmerman, Louis Ramey and John Novosad, who cover issues such as relationships, food, sports, aging and more.
“We’re thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate on this unique recording from Gilda’s LaughFest 2020,” said Joanne Roehm of LaughFest. “Our Clean Comedy All-Stars Showcase has always been a festival favorite, and we’re so happy to showcase these incredible comics in this way as part of our festival.”
The proceeds from the album will support Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids, which provides emotional healthcare to children, adults, families and friends that are affected by cancer. The organization offers education, structured sharing times, networking, lectures, workshops and social activities
“The Laugh Button has been a proud media partner of Gilda’s LaughFest since 2015,” said Chris Elles, partner at TLB Records. “Their support for emotional health through laughter is extremely important to us and our entire comedy community.
