Haddish’s journey and life experiences have inspired her comedy and sense of humor both on and off the stage.

She enrolled in the Laugh Factory’s Comedy Camp, a place for at-risk and underprivileged children to transform negative energy into something positive. The experience was just the beginning of her comedy career.
