A Cause for Comedy goes LIVE TONIGHT / NEW VIDEO

|
It all goes live tonight.

If you live in Los Angeles please come to the Improv and be a part of this amazing night. If you don't, please watch on-line (it's free to watch the live-stream, just donate a little...)

Tonight Causecast and I come together to honor the Creative Visions Foundation - a passionate LA non-profit dedicated to supporting "Creative Activists", people who use the power of art and media to make a positive change in this crazy world. We've got comedy and music (which is also funny), and all proceeds go right to the charity.

To that end, Causecast's Harmonie Tangonan put together a great new PSA talking about what Creative Activism means. Starring familiar faces from Causecast, CVF, and the AC4C comedians, we will be debuting the PSA at the show tonight.

But YOU get a sneak-peek HERE -->
