Follow on Google News |  Suitcase Drive for Foster Youth with Tiffany Haddish and Living Advantage, IncThe Improv comedy club franchise was first founded in a single location by Budd Friedman in 1963. Since then, its venue grew immensely popular. Nearly every big name in comedy has performed in the Improv locations such as Eddie Murphy, Mike Epps, Jim Belushi, Chaunte Wayans of the Famous Wayans Family, Jay Leno, Bill Cosby, Jimmy Fallon and now as a rising star, Tiffany Haddish. From Foster Care to Super Star: As she bursts into the spotlight with her breakout role in Girls Trip, it's hard to picture Tiffany Haddish as anything but a born comedy star. Her road to success was tough when her mother was diagnosed with mental illness after a car accident when she was 9 years old. She ended up in foster care and found her calling after her social worker gave her an ultimatum and pushed her to attend a comedy camp that she discovered her passion for performing. Now, the actress, 37, is starring alongside Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith in the new comedy Girls Trip —playing the wildest member of a tight-knit crew of college girlfriends. She thinks about how she can give back to all the foster children of America. When she had to move from home to home they gave her belongings to her in a trash bag and for a long time she felt like trash. Now she says, "Every child that is removed from their parents deserves to have a suitcase and a safe place to lay their head. I want to help with the suitcase part." She is taking her Tiffany Haddish Suitcase Drive for Foster Youth on her tour and has partnered with Living Advantage, Inc. that will help with the safe place part! For 21 years, Living Advantage has dedicated their mission to ensure foster youth have support and know that America cares about them. Most people feel they have to adopt or be a foster parent, but Living Advantage, Inc. gives them alternative ways to support and Tiffany's Suitcase drive is one of them. Enjoy a fun night out while helping our foster youth. By donating a bag, you get to participate in a VIP Meet & Greet after the show except Saturday's last show that includes a picture with Tiffany.
