Tiffany Haddish isn’t making the same mistakes this Thanksgiving as last year … telling fans at the Laugh Factory she’s happy to be back — but, she ain’t getting arrested again.

The comedian stopped by the vaunted Hollywood stand-up venue Thursday for the 44th annual free Thanksgiving feast for the community … a huge meal for people without the means of putting together their own.

Check out the vid … Tiff says she’s happy to be back at the Factory — but, this year’s going to be different ’cause she’s not getting arrested for a DUI again.

Remember, Haddish performed at the same event last year on Thanksgiving … and, hours later, Beverly Hills PD officers arrested her for DUI after she allegedly fell asleep at the wheel of her car in the middle of a street.

We obtained exclusive video of Haddish in handcuffs, with cops putting her into a squad car early in the morning on the day she was arrested.

She copped a plea deal, and ended up pleading guilty to a reckless driving charge — nowhere close to the original charges.

Tiffany goes on to make many of the same jokes she did in the aftermath of her arrest at various venues … joking the Beverly Hills Police Department is the best place to go if you get arrested.

Haddish also brings some familiar faces to the stage … people she’s seen at a few of these annual events which she says she’s been at since 1999.
