Who are we?

Ally Weinhold is a Los Angeles based comedian, social worker, and alcoholic. Fourteen years of sobriety and eight years of standup have taught her that laughter truly is the best medicine. When she’s not performing comedy or trying to convince her sponsor that astrology is a substitute for step-work, Ally can often be found using humor and creativity as clinical tools in the mental health field. Ally doesn’t care how cheesy it sounds, she believes that laughter is an important catalyst for human connection and has the power to heal trauma. Because of this, she founded Clinical Comedy in order to blend the healing power of laughter with her clinical expertise to make recovery attractive to people in treatment facilities and enable more effective communication techniques in the workplace or classroom. No matter what, Ally is committed to turning pain into punchlines, even if it ruins a few family holiday gatherings.
