Debut Show Success!
Our debut show for Everything is Great: A Town Hall for The People was a resounding success and proof of our concept! An absolutely slammed-packed audience joined us as the amazing staff of Saturn added seats to make room. The Game Show and Town Hall performers delivered: from an introduction by Governor Kay Ivey (Jason Sims), to our excellent politicos played by Christopher Davis, Rich Mansfield, and Eunice Elliott, to Town Hall Players who transformed audience questions into brilliant character driven performances (Debbie Smith, David Perry, Jason Sims, Michael Ruffino, Tyler Cooper, Becca Rothman), and last but not least our confused and frustrated thrice-thrown-out interruptor played by Brooks Bell, the show was a non-stop seesaw between laughter and cathartic shouting-down.

A variety of topics were covered from the massive amount of submissions (many in attendence putting in four or more), and our only regret is that the show couldn’t go-on for the required 300 hours to cover them all!
Everyone agreed we need another one, and we are excited to say we will be announcing the date for that soon!
What you can do in the mean time?
Three things you can do while we await the announcement for the next show:
- Be sure you’re on the mailing list to be the first to know
- Tell a friend!
- Keep your usual eye on the issues that matter to you, and submit town hall questions in advance anytime on the site!
Are you an organizer working on real issues?
Are you a grassroots organization, local group, or partner interested in participating in an upcoming event? Reach out to us! One of our primary goals is for our events to serve as connection points.
Please reach out via our parent project at laughingimpact.org/contact so we can coordinate properly.
This performance is part of a larger civic engagement framework that includes public-facing content and partnership integration.
Our first event had representatives on hand from Hive Alabama, Mad? Make A Difference, Indivisible Birmingham, and others, ready to talk with people before and after the show.
Whether the issues you work on are local, regional, national, or international, we would love to help you highlight your work, the issues themselves, and how people can get involved with your organization and support.
Want your company, association, or foundation involved?
For our debut show our friends at the amazing Joyland reached out and provided catering for the entire cast and crew, and their sister restaurant, Little Donkey, became a running-bit during the show off of one of the “sponsored questions” (where the performers have to contort their answer to promote the sponsor)! It was a wonderful additional bit of ridiculousness during the show, and having everyone’s dinner handled on site by everyone involved’s favorite burger place, Joyland, was more than appreciated. It’s always nice to have day of show logistics solved in such a delicious and generous way.
As we look to repeat and expand, all lended hands and donations are more than appreciated. So if your business or foundation would like to see what you can do to assist in that, don’t wait, start that conversation via the contact page!
