Bringing Funny Back - The Laugh Pack

CAKE LIVE welcomes its newest Mentor - Bruce Fine ladies and gentleman!


Bruce Fine knows funny. The Massachusetts native's streetwise style mixed with his boyish looks and charm has won over audiences across the country.  He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , Comics Unleashed, and was also a popular semi-finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing. His TV credits include King of Queens, My Wife and Kids, and the "Build-a-Bear" campaign. Next he stars opposite Chevy Chase in the new HOTEL HOT VACATION a sequel for the popular VACATION franchise. In addition to his extensive comedy and acting chops,  Bruce is an Emmy nominated television Producer. His latest venture,  an All-Star Comedy show entitled THE LAUGH PACK, brands him as true entrepreneur.


Bruce Fine’s THE LAUGH PACK, is the future of comedy. With the introduction of THE LAUGH PACK Bruce has created a new model for "the comedy club".  Bruce was inspired by the famed Rat Pack and their ability to display the passion for the show itself, headlining the "talent" whilst serving up great food and drinks. The "comedy club" has traditionally put the spotlight on the club owners leaving the comedians to fight for their spot on the marquee and comedy club goers to wrestle with exorbitant parking fees.  THE LAUGH PACK changes all this.


In order to reclaim the important elements of the comedy club-going experience, Bruce created a nomadic gang of the best comedians in the city, and travels to some of the finest venues (currently in Toluca Lake on Sunday evenings) giving audiences an evening a great evening of comedy and dining experience.  “THE LAUGH PACK is all about quality." States Fine. "Quality places, quality food and drinks, quality service and a quality show.”  


Each show consists of a rotating cast made up of three of the best comedians around Los Angeles paired with a singer; the exact opposite composition of the Rat Pack. “If you’re looking for first class entertainment and first class dining and cocktails," proclaims Fine, "then come out to THE LAUGH PACK show. We're bringing funny back"  


CAKE LIVE is excited for this new partnership with Bruce Fine and THE LAUGH PACK and welcomes them to mentorship!


THE LAUGH PACK performs every Sunday at D’Cache Lounge in Toluca Lake, doors open at 5pm, show starts at 7:30pm. For more information and tickets visit the website THE LAUGH PACK.
