These are precarious times, especially when it comes to reproductive rights and the unfortunate movement towards losing them. So, a number of comedy shows are now raising money for the Yellowhammer Fund, to support much need assistance in Alabama, a state that only has three abortion clinics.

This particular Ladyhammer benefit show will feature a very stacked line-up of stand-ups including Sabrina Jalees, Danielle Perez, Punkie Johnson, Irene Tu, Sara Schaefer, Jenny Zigrino, Janelle James, Zainab Johnson, and Madison Shepard!

It’s a great cause and a really stellar night of comedy. So, go get your tickets here already.

The tragic loss of the brilliant Brody Stevens is still reverberating throughout comedy and will for quite some time. His passing makes the issue of mental health and its crucial importance in our lives.

With that in mind, Largo is holding a benefit in Brody’s memory for NAMI (National Association on Mental Illness) that will feature Sarah Silverman, Zach Galifianakis, and more next Wednesday, May 22nd 8:30PM.

Tickets are $55.25 right now. Go get them here.

You might have heard that beloved comedian Jason Saenz had a horrific fall that resulted in a severe spinal injury a few months ago and that the accident occurred just right before he took on a gig that would have covered his medical expenses. While there was a gracious outpouring of support a few months ago and over $184K has been raised, he still needs help as other complications and the general cost still hasn’t been covered (it’s an estimated $300K).

So, three benefit shows together as The Jason Saenz Benefit Extravaganza will happen around the country to raise money for Jason. Here in LA, on April 1st, a show that’s so unbelievably stacked with LA comedy gems (really, take a long gander at that flyer) on top being hosted by legendary comedy group Murderfist.

Please go get your tickets for what we’ll be a very special show for a great cause. If you’d like to donate to Jason’s recovery now, you can do so at his GoFundMe page here: https://www.gofundme.com/jason-saenz-recovery-fund-aka-saenz-spinez.

As you probably know by now, the beloved Brody Stevens passed away. It has affected so many people as Brody was a part of so many different circles, scenes, groups, etc. and had such strong connection with all of them.

In light of his struggles with mental health, there will be a festival at The Comedy Store in Brody’s honor that will benefit Brody’s family and mental health awareness foundations.

This first Enjoy It! Brody Stevens’ Festival of Friendship: A Night of a Thousand Loving Friends of Brody Stevens will take place next Tuesday, March 5th at The Comedy Store, presented by Sam Tripoli, Sarah Mello, and JC Coccoli.

From the looks of it, this will be a recurring thing and we can’t think of a better way to remember Brody for years and years to come.

Tickets for the main room shows are now available here and here, respectively.

The passing of Kevin Barnett came out of nowhere and was a shock to family, friends, and fans alike. As such, a gigantic, stupendous benefit (as you can see in the flyer above) for Kevin’s family will be held this coming Tuesday at the Echoplex.

In case you’re not aware, the process of not only coming to America to live and work is not only insanely difficult, but awfully expensive. As that’s the case, a great comedy benefit show is happening for Odenkirk/Provissiero Entertainment’s Kora Christensen as she needs help paying for her green card.

Just look at that line-up. It’s pretty swell if you ask us.
