Far be it from us to point out a live comedy show with just mostly men on the line-up on International Women’s Day and during Women’s History Month. That said, if the renowned and celebrated men on said line-up were donating their time to raise money for abortion access and reproductive rights via the Lizz Winstead (co-creator of The Daily Show) org Abortion Access Front and had the fantastic Joyelle Nicole Johnson hosting the whole shin dig, that is a different story.

It’s actually the story of the upcoming comedy charity benefit event Bro V. Wade: Funny Dudes. Raising Cash. For Abortion set for Sun. May 22nd at The Bell House in Brooklyn at 7:30PM ET. The likes of David Cross, Dave Hill, Jon Glaser, John Fugelsang, Josh Gondelman, and Dean Obeidallah are billed and we wouldn’t be surprised if there were more special guests TBA.

FYI: Founded in 2015, Abortion Access Front is a team of comedians, writers and producers that uses humor to destigmatize abortion and expose the extremist anti-choice forces working to destroy access to reproductive rights in all 50 states.

Tickets are $40 and, if you’re in and around NYC, you need to get them here.

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.
