WHAT IS IT?

Laugh Your Ads Off (LYAO) is a stand-up comedy competition featuring hilarious ad agency professionals from numerous agencies. These funny people perform 5-minutes of stand-up comedy live on-stage in front of 400+ industry leaders to find out who is Atlanta’s Funniest Ad Agency Professional.

LYAO is in our fourth year and we are very grateful for our partnership with The Atlanta Ad Club. And a big THANK YOU to our host sponsor Moxie.

We like to say, “LYAO is community through comedy and comedy through community.”

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Humor Wins produces this event working closely with performers and sponsors to create one of the most memorable nights for Atlanta’s Ad Agency community.

Humor Wins then works directly with the performers to develop and rehearse their material. We have professional writers from Comedy Central, Conan, etc. strengthen and refine the performers’ jokes.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
Most of the people who perform on these shows have never done stand-up comedy. We have a proven methodology that makes anyone funny for five-minutes. Watch additional performer testimonials here to see that we can make you funny for 5 minutes!

MATERIAL
One of the mot common questions is, ‘What about the material?’ Which is a great questions because you do not want to worry about offensive material making people feel uncomfortable. That is why Humor Wins makes sure all material is PG18+ and the material matches our Humor Rules:
1) Stay away from religion & politics
2) Keep it above the belt
3) Stay away from unsafe subjects
4) Do not single out people, agencies nor clients

We promise, this will be one of the best nights of your life.
