Lou Perez is on a mission to revive comedy in an age of censorship—and he’s doing it with sharp wit, fearless satire, and an unapologetic love for free expression. As a comedian, producer, and author of That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy, Lou has been at the frontlines of the free speech battle, proving that comedy should challenge, not conform.
A Webby Award-winning writer and producer, Lou made waves as the creative force behind We the Internet TV, where his comedy took on politics, culture, and everything in between. His work spans everything from FOX’s Gutfeld! and Impractical Jokers to indie comedy hits like Comedy Is Murder with Free the People. He’s collaborated with The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and tackled controversial issues with humor, intelligence, and just the right amount of irreverence. Lou has opened for Rob Schneider and is currently on tour with Scott Thompson (The Kids in the Hall, The Larry Sanders Show, and FUBAR on Netflix).
Whether on stage, in print, or behind the camera, Lou reminds us why laughter matters—and why we should never let the gatekeepers decide what’s funny.
