Reasons to be Cheerful’s second annual variety show, Amazing Humans Doing Amazing Things, nearly blew the roof off The Town Hall in New York City on May 29. David Byrne, Ramy Youssef, Reggie Watts, Annie and the Caldwells, Nina Conti and many other incredible acts had the crowd laughing, cheering and rising to their feet. See the photos here.
The show also included inspirational moments that spoke directly to RTBC’s solutions journalism mission. In these interludes, we celebrated the work of New York City-based organizations working to make our city a better place and improve the lives of the people who live here. In case you didn’t make it to the show, here’s a short video about one of them.
The New York City-based Free to Be Youth Project is the only legal services program in the nation targeted to low-income and homeless LGBTQ+ youth. Since 2023, the organization has provided legal assistance on more than 250 cases on issues such as immigration, housing access and name changes.
