Corn Telethon (Live-stream)
Another 12-hour live-stream extravaganza hosted by Siri Dahl and friends.
Last year, we sounded the alarm. Those looming threats to free speech? They’ve officially arrived. So let’s have a telethon about it.
CORN TELETHON is back on September 4th, 2025 and this time it’s louder, weirder, and more defiant.
What started as a cheeky fundraiser to raise awareness has grown into a full-blown celebration of resistance, joy, and community in the face of attacks on free speech and accelerated authoritarianism.
The saying goes that sex workers have long been the canaries in the coal mine when it comes to free expression—but we’re not the only ones affected. Authors, comedians, artists, queer activists, and anyone who values creativity and privacy are now finding themselves in the same crosshairs. This year’s CORN TELETHON brings together this big, bold, beautifully unruly coalition to laugh, sing, and stand up for what matters.
As always, 100% of profits will go to SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project) and SWAID Vegas.
Again, you can expect a cheeky (but safe-for-work!) stream hosted by Siri and a rotating gang of comedians, musicians, writers, and mischief-makers. Think Jerry Lewis telethon meets USA Up All Night. Yes, it will be ridiculous while bringing attention to the diminishing state of free speech in this country.
Starts/streams 12PM ET/9AM PT
