Laser Webber
Producer
Laser Webber (he/they) is a trans musician, performer, professional nerd, and author. He is the artistic director of the Joy Who Lived trans theater festival and executive director of Trans Stories.
Laser co-wrote the musical Teaching a Robot to Love, a sci-fi story about the trans experience, with E. Aaron Wilson. The musical’s concept album charted on Billboard and its sold-out, award-winning debut run took place at the 2022 Hollywood Fringe Festival! His 2023 solo show, “A Shark Ate My Penis,” won “Best World Premiere” at Hollywood Fringe and went on to a 5-star run at Edinburgh Fringe.
He currently produces and performs at comedy events in Los Angeles, including the popular “Gentlemen’s Club: A Fancy Trans Comedy Show,” which he founded with comedian Charlie James. He’s produced charity comedy events with stand-up, improv, music and sketch that raised over $25,000 for charity during the 2020-2022 lockdowns.
Laser helps independent artists (like Maria Bamford, Saladin Ahmed, Jonathan Coulton, and Rekha Shankar) get money and attention for their creative projects. He has raised more than $4 million using Kickstarter and Patreon for comics, games, and music, and is the author of “Crowdfunding for Musicians,” a how-to book for indie artists who want to achieve their dreams without gatekeepers.
In a previous life, he toured the US, Australia, and Europe with his nerdy music duo the Doubleclicks, which racked up over 4 million Youtube views amongst their large and beautiful grassroots audience.
He is currently working in development and fundraising for Complexly.
