The LA fires impacted thousands of lives, with entire neighborhoods and landmarks reduced to ash. In moments like these, it’s easy to feel a sense of dread and despair, but that’s when comedy is at the most vital. Laughter doesn’t fix the chaos, but it reminds us to breathe, connect, and find light even in the darkest moments.
Today comedian and Feast of Fun legend Amanda Cohen joins us to talk about her experience surviving the Greater Los Angeles Wildfires of 2025. Amanda was a big part of our live show and the early days of the podcast. She’s since moved to LA to pursue a comedy career.
Listen as we take a look at how comedy can be a lifeline in times of crisis and why laughter is sometimes the greatest act of resilience.
