“As a proud member of the comedy community I want to support comedians in need. I’m honored to be a part of the third annual Alt Comedy All-Stars and lend my support to Comedy Gives Back," said Bob Odenkirk.

Added Mary Lynn Rajskub “Comedy Gives Back does incredible work supporting comedians when they need it most. I’m proud to lend my voice, and a few jokes, to a night that’s all about showing up for the comedy community.”

“Stand-up is this weird, wonderful path where each generation learns from the ones who came before. You grind it out in clubs, you bomb, you get better, and somewhere along the way a community forms. Events like Alt Comedy All-Stars remind us that we’re all part of the same ecosystem, and supporting Comedy Gives Back means helping that ecosystem survive,” said Patton Oswalt.

“Behind every punchline is a person. This benefit showcases incredible talent while reinforcing our core mission: ensuring that no comedian faces hardship alone. When co-founding Comedy Gives Back we always had the vision of comedians helping comedians and this event is that idea put into action. It’s a chance to turn laughter into tangible help for members of our community who need it most,” commented Comedy Gives Back co-founders, Amber J Lawson, Zoe Friedman and Jodi Lieberman.

100% of ticket sales will go to Comedy Gives Back to continue their mission of providing financial crisis relief, mental health therapy, chemical dependency treatment sponsorship, and community support for stand-up comedians. 

This year we are grateful to be supported by The Hollywood Reporter, Show and Tell and more to be announced.

We hope you can join us!
