Such are the times that being a a brown-skinned comedian, much less one from a country South of the U.S. border, is, shall we say, dicey. That’s only one of a myriad of reasons why Chilean comedian, now U.S. citizen Fabrizio Copano made sure to secure his status as an American citizen before releasing his latest special (given Trump’s penchant for wanting kick everyone who isn’t licking his boots out of the country). Fabrizio walked us through the whole, precedent setting, comedy history making journey on this week’s TCB Field Report.

Even if you actively try to not read the news, you most likely know about the horrific separation of immigrant children from their immigrant parents at the U.S. Mexico border happening under the Trump Administration.

Largo has thrown together an unbelievably stacked line-up, as you can clearly see above, for this Friday to benefit the Florence Project (an organization that assists in offering free legal services to men, women, and unaccompanied children in immigration custody in Arizona.

Go get your tickets ($30 tickets were just released FYI) here. We have no doubt that it will sell out.

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.

You can get tickets here.
