About 18 months ago we did an interview where Jamie was trying to set up an Organ Donor "Thank-you" program at comedy clubs. The "Comedy & Magic Club" in Hermosa Beach was the first supporter. 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. The program, which has already been successful in 12 comedy clubs nationwide, including the Comedy Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, aims to expand further, incorporating music venues as well. By collaborating with renowned figures like comedian Alonzo Bowden and organizations such as Levity Live, Alcroft hopes to spread the message of organ donation while bringing laughter and gratitude to those who support this invaluable cause.(00:01:00) Comedy Shows Promoting Organ Donation Initiative(00:03:39) Laughter Inspires Organ Donation Awareness Movement(00:04:32) Laughs for Life: Comedy Promoting Organ DonationSupport the showWebsite: Standup Comedy Podcast Network.com www.StandupComedyPodcastNetwork.com Free APP on all Apple & Android phones....check it out, podcast, jokes, blogs, and More!"NEW" Video Podcast: Tag Team Talent Podcast on Spotify & YouTube See your favorite comics and other performers...Fun!

Jamie Alcroft has been a silversmith, morning show DJ, and comedian, but currently spends a fair amount of time as an advocate for organ donorship. After a heart and liver transplant he began to write about his experiences in the hospital, this became the book The Tin Man Diaries. Michael goes into some of his qualms spiritual and otherwise, with organ donation - there’s a lot of back and forth about balancing the moral and emotional weight of the topic. After a technical hiccup, the pair go into the mechanics of stand-up - the nature of timing, pacing, reading and re-reading an audience. This develops into a conversation on the more social value of comedy, the ability to suck the seriousness and grandeur out of some topics and force us all to confront the silliness of the human experience. The way Jamie has gone about both advocating for organ donorship and comedy, as an exercise in presenting the truth and letting people realize the situation in a new light, the discussion moves to changing minds and how he’s changed his mind over his life on certain topics. Our episode slides to its conclusion with a chat about breaking up a creative enterprise amiably, his daughter’s own path to advocacy, and recommendations for a Netflix series and a downtown sushi place.
