COMEDY DREAMS COME TRUE!
WITNESS HISTORY LIVE AS HIGHEST EBAY BIDDER OPENS FOR JON LOVITZ ON NOVEMBER
30th!
The World Famous Laugh Factory made history last month by becoming the
world’s first comedy club to auction off a comedy spot on eBay. The winning
bid came in at $7,600, and one-hundred percent of all proceeds will be
donated to the American Red Cross for global victims of all this year’s
natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.)
Our highest eBay bidder, Mark Moseley, offered $7,600 and secured himself a
ten-minute set with Jon Lovitz during his weekly show at the World Famous
Laugh Factory on Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Strip on Wednesday, NOVEMBER
30, 2005. Moseley, one of the stars of Disney’s MULAN 2, is a stand-up comic
and actor who has appeared in movies such as SHREK 2, and TV shows including
FATHER OF THE PRIDE. Mark appears in multiple roles in a November sweeps
episode of the animated hit AMERICAN DAD, and in the new video game hit TRUE
CRIME-NEW YORK CITY.
Jon Lovitz adds: “I think the important thing is to recognize Mark Moseley’s
extreme generosity in donating $7,600 to help hurricane victims, and I
really hope he has a great show.” Mark is excited to be working to help
Katrina victims. Says Mark “I grew up down there, and worked in radio along
the Gulf Coast, including in New Orleans, where I lived for two years. I
have a lot of love for that area. This money will help a lot of folks who
are still hurting.” Moseley’s performance will also be seen at

Laugh Factory V.P. of Business Development Shawn Ullman explains, "The Laugh
Factory and owner Jamie Masada have always been extremely charitable with
donations and community outreach, but now with the merging of the tech
market and entertainment industries, we are the first comedy club in history
to auction off stage time and broadcast the winner's performance online. We
are delighted to make this generous contribution in such a ground-breaking
way!"
