Seth Rogen’s big annual comedy benefit Hilarity for Charity that raises money to “improv the lives of everyone affected by Alzheimer’s” is back and bigger than ever. Rogen used to hold the festivities at the Hollywood Palladium and then got to make a Netflix special out of the whole shindig.

Now, they’re throwing an entire carnival and calling if the Hilarity For Charity County Fair and The Row DTLA (where the Adult Swim Festival has taken place). On the bill thus far are: Ilana Glazer, Adam Devine, Andrew Rannells,  Casey Wilson, Ike Barinholtz, Jeff Ross, Kate Micucci, Nick Kroll, Regina Hall, Riki Lindhome, and more. Indeed, there will be live performances, but there will also be carnival rides, and classic carnival games that comedians will be in the booths for.

There are early bird tickets for $150, but you can pay as much as $25K to support Hilarity for Charity and their efforts in taking on Alzheimer’s Disease. Get more details and tickets here.

So, would the theme be paintings of Seth Rogen by James Franco?

The latest big time show for Rogen’s Hilarity for Charity organization, which raises money to fight against and awareness of Alzheimer’s disease, will indeed be a bar mitzvah for one of his best friends and frequent co-star, James Franco. 

We wouldn’t be surprised at all if Franco actually does an actual reading of the Torah given his penchant of juggling his many areas of study.

The event is set to take place at the Hollywood Palladium on Oct. 17th and will undoubtedly be a very exclusive event to get into.
