Helper Faires

Idea: Community events based on a theme (such as clothes, electronics, baby stuff, food, etc.) where people in the community get together to sell, donate, recycle, make, repair, customize, mentor/teach, etc., all based on that particular theme. Kind of like a flea market, recycling center, repair/customization shop, etc. all in one. The goals are to make charity and recycling more convenient and efficient, and to bring people in a community together (including people of different income levels, for example: rich people getting clothing repaired/resized at the same place that poor people receive clothing donations)

Last Addict Standing Competition TV Show

Idea: A competition-based reality show, like Survivor, where each team member is addicted to a different recreational drug. The teams compete in both physical and mental events, and the drug addition may help or hinder their performance in the event, possibly in hilarious ways. The members of the winning team are rewarded either with a large supply of their drug, or rehab (their choice)

Open Mic Franchising

Comedy Bracket Challenge

A standup comedy contest where comics compete one-on-one in a tournament bracket. Each night, 8 comics compete in 3 rounds, until a winner for the night is declared. After 8 shows, the 8 past winners compete in the same fashion to declare an ultimate winner. The first two rounds of the night are decided by overall audience applause immediately after the two competing comics perform. The last round of the night is decided by 7 pseudo-random audience members, who are chosen to be voters because they do not appear to be brought to the show by either of the two comics who made it to the final round, thus ensuring a more honest vote

Comedy Night Videogame Livestream

A standup comedy show on the Internet using the standup comedy videogame "Comedy Night" and the videogame livestreaming website Twitch. The show (which will probably be called "Nerdy and Dirty") will have a lineup of real standup comics. The comics will appear as avatars in the "Comedy Night" videogame. On Twitch, they'll also appear as avatars, possibly with additional video of their real faces as a picture-in-picture, and possibly with an additional pre-show interview. The audience will be real people, either the audience from the "Comedy Night" videogame (who can heckle), or, if the comics are performing in a real comedy venue in real life, the audience from that venue

Dead Parades

Parades where you create a parade float for a semi-random dead person from your family or your community, intended to be a better way than graveyards to ensure that everyone gets remembered; could either be done yearly, or when removing the graveyard that the person is buried in (because of global warming sea rise, for example). Also: the crazy plot of the movie “How High”, flooded graveyard zombies, “Day of the Dead” and “Coco”

Bored App

When you're bored, get on board the "bored app", and it’ll give you a list of stuff to do (outside of your house) near your current location at the current time, which is tailored to your interests. Also: "baby on bored" for stuff you can do with your kids, "over bored", opening businesses off-hours on-demand through the app, and creepy work bathroom stories
