After six years and the world getting turned upside down several times over, the critically acclaimed sketch series, Inside Amy Schumer, is finally returning to satirically mark the absurdity of our truly insane time in its fifth season.

First on the agenda, the historically awfully overturning of Roe v. Wade getting overturned. With more and more states outlawing access to safe abortion access, there will be an inevitable kind of vacation purely for the purpose of doing what you need to do in states like Colorado as opposed to what you can’t in places like Texas, Arizona, etc.

Take your first gander at the long awaited fifth season of Inside Amy Schumer here, then look for the fifth season to stream on, not Comedy Central, but Paramount+.

Pick of the Day: Looking Forward to It: Pro Choice Candidates (in NYC) 9/27

As it’s National Voter Registration Day today, it’s only fitting that we recommend the comedy show dedicated to voting, Looking Forward to It. Throughout the last couple of years, this show has brought together the very best of the NYC comedy scene to raise funds for voter engagement, which is very much in dire need as it has been for years and years now.

This upcoming edition of Looking Forward to It on Tues. Sept. 27th at Littlefield at 8PM will be specifically supporting Emily’s List, a fund dedicated to pro-choice female candidates in the upcoming midterm elections. Making up any ground from Roe vs. Wade being overturned is a crucial cause and, very likely, abortion access will be the defining issue of this upcoming 2022 Midterm Elections.

So, with all of that in mind, you’ll be supporting essential work as well as enjoying the comedy stylings of Joyelle Nicole Johnson, Michael Cruz Kayne, Karen Chee, and hosts Josh Gondelman and Alison Leiby. Again, they’re some of the most beloved comics in NYC right now.

Tickets are $19.51 and you can and very, very much should go get them here.

It’s quite simple. It’s a grand line-up of comedy here in LA featuring the likes of Mae Martin, Nori Reed, Naomi Ekperigin, Solomon Georgio, Joel Kim Booster, and host Sabrina Jalees and one of the bigger tickets that has its proceeds going to abortion access.

Specifically, Sabrina and company will be performing in support of the National Network of Abortion Funds that will provide whatever they can to women who will be losing access to legal and safe abortions in the way-too-near future. This crucial show is happening on Tues. Jul. 19th at 8:30PM PT and one of LA comedy’s crown jewels, Largo at the Coronet Theatre.

Tickets are $46 (and that’s plenty going to NNAF) and you really need to go get your tickets here.

It should be pretty clear by now that, for several big chunks of the country, abortion under any circumstances will become illegal. That’s why it’s crucial right now to raise money for those most vulnerable as a result of The Supreme Court’s turn to the Dark Side with their overturning of Roe vs. Wade last week.

Pick of the Day: Any Comedy Show That’s Supporting Abortion Funds/Orgs/Resources/Access

abortion access, comedy benefit

The recently leaked draft opinion from the United States Supreme Court that points to the overturning of Roe vs. Wade has been a startling and horrifying discovery for a right that we had only thought was enshrined as sacred just a few months ago. SCOTUS hasn’t actually made anything officially official as of yet, especially with the outrage over the leaked opinion itself, but abortion and pro choice activists and organizations are mobilizing for the worst (i.e. their original plan).

Subsequently, there are many comedy shows right now and in the very near future like the upcoming Bro vs. Wade @ The Bell House or Zippy @ YARD Theater that are either giving partial proceeds to various abortion funds or orgs that fight for abortion access like Abortion Front.

In fact, there are so many shows (and more to come) that have opted to support abortion access that it’d be easier to just check our listings to see what comedy show you want to see, per usual, and then go check their ticket link/socials to see if they’ll be supporting reproductive rights for the latest edition of their shows. We’ll do our best to update the info, but there are truly so many shows that are furthering their resolve on the right side of history that it might take a minute or two for us to catch up.
