Comic Relief’s ‘Stand-Up For LA’ Benefit Signs Up Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Desi Lydic, Ramy Youssef, Hannah Berner & More

Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Desi Lydic, Ramy Youssef, and Hannah Berner are some of the comedians who have signed up to perform at Comic Relief‘s Stand-Up for LA benefit.

The fundraiser, which will take place at The Town Hall in NYC on March 3, will help support children and families working to rebuild and recover following the L.A. wildfires.

Other stand-up comedians who will perform include Chris Distefano and Josh Johnson, and more celebrities will be announced soon.

“The destruction caused by the LA fires is almost unimaginable and the long-term impact on children and families in underserved communities is even greater,” said Michele Ganeless, CEO of Comic Relief US. “This disaster has exacerbated crises, like homelessness and hunger, and disrupted youth education, further contributing to socioeconomic instability and vulnerability. Rebuilding isn’t just about today; we need to step up and make sure families have what they need to recover and thrive for years to come.”

In addition, the legendary comedy institution, The Second City, will host a comedy night, with proceeds also benefiting Comic Relief US’ response and recovery efforts.

“No community should have to face the devastating impacts of a natural disaster alone,” Ganeless added. “Stand-Up for LA is our way of uniting people through comedy and entertainment, turning laughter into action to ensure those hardest hit by the fires can get the help they need.”
