Only this gal can get injured getting out of a lawnchair. The adult diapers are next, folks! Hope you enjoyed your Fourth festivities (without aches and pains). Just for one moment let’s get out of party mode to learn about an upcoming installment of the ongoing series of comedy shows benefitting the nonprofit Breakthrough. Wednesday, July 18th at Gotham Comedy Club you can help support this charity effort to combat violence against women. As the name of the event should suggest, this treasure trove of male comedians will be doing their part to help with those awesome Breakthrough goals:
Roy Wood, Jr. (Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Comedy Central’s This Is Not Happening)
Dean Obeidallah** (Host of SiriusXM radio’s The Dean Obeidallah Show)
Josh Gondelman (writer, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver)
Jordan Carlos (Broad City, Friends From College, The Colbert Report)
Murray Hill (a New York legend!)
Rob Paravonian (Comedy Central, Dr. Demento, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn)
Eddie Sarfaty (Comedy Central, Logo)
PLUS Special guest and emcee Negin Farsad (NPR, HBO, Fake the Nation)
Breakthrough “works to change the attitudes and assumptions around gender that lead to violence and discrimination.” If you want to have a laugh while helping your fellow human beings, this is your chance to do so! Let’s do this!
Mentions: 6:30pm doors, 7:30pm show. Tickets start at $35. Gotham Comedy Club is located at 208 W 23rd St. New York, NY. **Lineup subject to change.
