On Friday, July 17, at the House of Blues, the Mental Health Channel will be filming Cracking Up New Orleans, the second installment of its documentary series aimed at raising mental health awareness.

The event will feature 12 of New Orleans’ best and funniest comics sharing their personal experiences with mental health as part of their routines.

The goal of the series is to break down barriers, defuse tensions, shatter stigma, and encourage acceptance through laughter.

The event will be hosted by Duncan Pace, and the lineup includes stand up performances by local comics like Amanda G., Vincent Zambon, RedBean, Carrey B., and others.
