BUT now the "Levity Live" company and all the "Improvisation" comedy clubs around the country are offering Free Admittance to shows each month to peopl who signed up as Organ Donors....an amazing program!Jamie Alcroft, a comedian known for his work as part of the comedy duo Mac and Jamie, and for hosting the TV show "Comedy Break", is on a mission to promote organ donation through his Laughs for Life program. Inspired by his own heart transplant experience, Alcroft launched this initiative to offer free comedy shows to organ donors, thereby raising awareness and encouraging more individuals to register as donors.

Jamie is an American comedian and voice actor renowned for his exceptional voice-over work in movies, TV shows, and video games. Many of you may know him as one half of the legendary comedy duo, Mack & Jamie. Jamie's journey into comedy began in a serendipitous way when cartoonist Mack Dryden left a note for him at his Key West radio station, acknowledging Jamie as one of the funniest men in town. The duo quickly hit it off and embarked on a stand-up comedy adventure that would soon captivate audiences worldwide. Their incredible chemistry and comedic prowess caught the attention of industry giants, and they were invited to grace the iconic stage of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." The duo's uproarious performance on the show opened doors to their own syndicated series called "Comedy Break" in 1985. Within a year, they filmed a staggering 125 half-hour shows, leaving a lasting impression on viewers everywhere. Jamie's talent extends beyond the world of comedy as he has established himself as a prolific voice actor. His versatile voice has brought to life a multitude of animated series, commercials, and video games. From iconic characters in games like "Gears of War" and "Call of Duty" to lending his voice to Dr. Dean in "Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost," Jamie's vocal range is truly remarkable. He has also delighted fans with his contributions to beloved animated series such as "Rugrats" and "Justice League," adding his comedic touch to these timeless classics. Beyond his comedic and voice acting endeavors, Jamie has made a significant impact on his community and beyond. Named the 2009 Westlake Village Citizen of the Year and recognized as one of the "25 Most Influential People" in Ventura County, he has devoted himself to philanthropy and supporting schools and charities. His passion for giving back shines through his tireless efforts to raise funds in collaboration with local business partners. Recently, Jamie has teamed up with the renowned Phil Proctor, of Firesign Theatre fame, to create the hilarious and relatable series called "Boomers on a Bench." This delightful show, which can be enjoyed on YouTube and Facebook weekly, resonates with audiences of all ages and demonstrates Jamie's enduring comedic genius.

It may be easier to list what Jamie Alcroft hasn't done, than to list all his many talents and accomplishments. He's a comedian who with his partner Mack Dryden hosted a hit TV show, “Comedy Break with Mack and Jamie” that helped launch the careers of Kevin Pollak, Ellen DeGeneres, Paul Reiser and others. He's a silversmith and dad to pop star, Hayley Kiyoko. Oh, yeah, and he's also the recipient of a heart AND liver transplant. Best of all, he's a terrifically funny storyteller with amazing tales to tell. Your ears are in for a treat!

He’s appeared multiple times on the Tonight show with Johnny Carson and then Jay Leno in the 1980’s which lead to their hosting the syndicated television series called Comedy Break.

Throw in a some ice choreography and super talented kids and that's a big chunk of this episode. Jamie remains very funny, He continues to flash his silversmithing skills, do voice-acting in cartoons and video games and he authored the book the "Tin Man Diaries: A Sudden Change of Heart," which has received wonderful reviews as he talks about another chapter in his life, that of a surviver of a massive heart attack, and ultimately being the recipient of a donor heart. As a comedian he took the opportunity to mine some good material and is understandably very appreciative of life and his compassionate heart donor who demonstrated ultimate creativity when he signed his donor card. We hear about this part of his life in this episode along with very humorous stories, a few impersonations, and some ideas to turn a book that is dear to his heart into a television series.
