| IRS990EZ/ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp/DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt | 0 | NYLaughs presented 5 free comedic shows in 2017. Four shows were part of the summer staple, "Summer in the Park." Shows were held in public parks in Tompkins Square Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Washington Square Park and Central Park. We invited several well known comedic professions to perform to help serve our mission to enrich lives through comedy. The fifth show was part of our "Laughter in the City" in the series and was held in NYPL @ 53rd Street for an audience of 200. Our non profit, NYLaughs, has been producing free outdoor comedy in city and state parks for the last 11 years and we were able to enrich lives and foster a better NYC through these events. Our events used laughter to create collective public experiences that built community, strengthened the bonds between attendees, and made NYC a happier, healthier place. We also helped to foster an appreciation of the comic arts and sought to have audiences recognize comedy as a unique NY cultural asset and an avenue for universal peace, harmony, mutual understanding and cultural accessibility. |

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | We are a small organization with no paid staff. The majority of our expenses are put toward programming. We have just raised funding for bookkeeping support. This was our first 990 EZ filing. In prior years, we filed an online 990N. Our bookkeepers in processing our 2018 returns wanted to address inconsistencies with our 2017 return. We apologize for any inconvenience. Hello, in processing our 2019 returns, we discovered that we overlooked adding our non-cash contributor - Manhattan Mini Storage $2628 and specifying our BOD contribution of $3029 on Schedules B. We seek to correct this as we transition from accounting volunteers to communicating effectively with our bookkeepers. |

| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | This was the first time we submitted a 990EZ and we're an all volunteer organization. The bulk of our programming occurs after the May 15 deadline. We respectfully regretted the delay and offered our sincerest apologies. In late 2018, we raised funding for bookkeeping help and we then discovered some discrepancies that needed to be addressed in our 2017 filing. Unexpectedly while preparing our 2019 return, we saw that we overlooked including our non-cash contribution from Manhattan Mini Storage in our 2017 return for $2628 and specifying our BOD contribution of $3029 on Schedule B. We seek to correct this as we transition from accounting volunteers to communicating effectively with our bookkeepers. |
