Upside Down Comedy had a powerful start to the year on January 13th when Apostle Dan and Sue Sherstad joined us. They brought an encouraging, impactful message and took time to pray over everyone. It truly set the tone for the year and meant so much to our community.
We kicked off February with a writing-focused meetup led by Robert, where comedians brought new material and received thoughtful feedback, it was such a strong time of growth and collaboration. We also had a very successful improv meetup with Joel McCrary that brought a lot of energy and joy to the group.
Mid-month, Pastor Dan returned and brought a message on how comedy, especially laughter, can be a tool for healing. It was fantastic and deeply meaningful for everyone there. We wrapped up the month with a crowd work session that pushed people outside their comfort zones in the best way.
It’s also been exciting to see what’s happening beyond our meetups. Several of our comedians have started new open mics, expanding their influence in the comedy world. Sarah continues to grow her Squeaky Clean Comedy brand, now reaching out to local schools and churches with her events—so inspiring to watch!
One of the most meaningful things has been how we’ve continued to center everything in prayer. We begin each meetup praying for one another, for Hollywood, and we’re constantly hearing new testimonies of what the Lord is doing in people’s lives.
People are being encouraged in their faith, growing in their skills, and our community continues to thrive and genuinely love each other well.
