The cast of Mr. Show will reunite for the first time since 2020 at this event. 

VIP ticketholders will receive a limited edition signed poster, too!

Co-headliner Patton Oswalt says, “I’m so happy to get to be a part of this. They’re my friends, they’re my heroes, and we’re all getting together to raise money and raise some funny. Oh yuck cut that last part out.” 

And co-headliner Sarah Silverman adds, “I’m grateful to get to do a show with people I love* and for people I love!”

*except for Zach Galifianakis

Comedy Gives Back co-founders Jodi Lieberman, Amber J Lawson and Zoe Friedman share: “Our star-studded alt comedy benefit at the El Rey exemplifies Comedy Gives Back’s mission. Laughter serves as a catalyst for change, uniting remarkable talent and generous hearts to support comedians in need. This night embodies the power of comedy—transforming joy into tangible support for our fellow comedians, creating a vibrant, supportive community.”

With these legendary comedians and actors lending their talent to such an important cause in their circles, 100% of the ticket sales will go to Comedy Gives Back to ensure they can continue to provide financial crisis relief, mental health therapy, chemical dependency treatment sponsorship, and community support for stand-up comics.

The organization also recently launched Comedy Gives Back HealthNet, an online health portal meeting comedians where they are, whether on the road or at home to bring a transparent, low-cost alternative to health insurance. The show is produced by Long Time No See’s Jack Fink and Independent Artists Media’s Dave Rath.
