Bethany Hall

Amidst the vibrant energy of New York City, Bethany Hall isn’t just a name etched on a building. It’s a hub of creative comedy initiatives. Bethany Hall, the Creative Director of Comedy Initiatives at the Center for Media & Social Impact, breathes life into this space. She’s the comedic architect, leading the Comedy ThinkTanks and shaping creative comedy projects. Bethany Hall also co-created and spearheads GoodLaugh at CMSI. Her influence extends to the Yes, And…Laughter Lab, where she serves as Creative Director. But Bethany Hall is more than just a director. She’s a performer, a writer, and a producer. You might recognize her from “The Chris Gethard Show” on TruTV. Or perhaps you’ve heard her one-woman show, “About Those Miscarriages And Other Messes I’ve Made,” playing on New York City stages. Bethany Hall’s reach goes beyond the stage. She’s the Executive Producer of “We Disrupt this Broadcast,” a podcast in partnership with CMSI and the Peabody Awards. She’s also the executive producer behind “By Us For Us,” an original comedy by Color of Change. And let’s not forget “Thanksgiving,” a series she co-created and executive produced. From Bonnaroo to SXSW, from “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” to NBC’s “30 Rock,” Bethany Hall has left her comedic mark. Even in “30 Rock,” she appeared as the TGS writer, Bethany. Before her deep dive into comedy, Bethany Hall served as the Communications Project Manager for The Atlantic Philanthropies. There, she oversaw the foundation’s legacy products. Her journey began at Middlesex University in London, where she honed her skills and prepared for her multifaceted career. So, next time you hear the name Bethany Hall, remember it’s more than just a building. It’s a testament to a woman’s comedic genius and her dedication to laughter and social impact.
