The 818 Benefit: Brody Stevens' Festival of Friendship August 18 at The Comedy Store

Comedy Gives Back is honored to announce the 818 Benefit: Brody Stevens Festival of Friendship Benefit Show!, the annual tribute to comedian Brody Stevens, taking place August 18th (818) at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles!
The comedy community mourned the loss of the larger than life Brody Stevens in 2019, and friends of Brody’s started the 818 Walk in honor of his memory for his fans and friends. Years later, the tribute is still going strong, celebrating Brody, as well as raising awareness for suicide prevention and mental health services from Comedy Gives Back.
The incredible performers include: Jay Mohr, Eleanor Kerrigan, Dean DelRay, Cameron Esposito, Byron Bowers, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Dan Levy, Taina, Don Barris and host Ben Gleib.
As always, the 818 Benefit: Brody Stevens Festival of Friendship Show! will directly benefit the mental health programs of Comedy Gives Back, the safety net of the comedy community.

Learning Lenormand? Start with Three Cards, Not Thirty-Six
Learning Lenormand can feel overwhelming at first. There are 36 cards to remember, and understanding an individual card is only part of the process. The next challenge is learning how the cards work together.
I created Lenormand Cards to make that learning process more approachable, with an illustrated card reference, explanations, and free three-card practice.
Here’s a simple exercise for beginners:
1. Ask a focused question.Try “What should I pay attention to this week?” instead of a broad question such as “What will my future be?”
2. Draw three cards and note your first impressions.Start with one or two keywords for each card. You don’t need to memorize every possible interpretation.
3. Connect…
How does Comedy Gives Back plan to keep the 818 Benefit’s message around suicide prevention and mental health support alive beyond the annual FNF show, especially for comedians who may struggle to ask for help?
