Los Ang eles (August 18, 2009) – Causecast and Ben Morrison are teaming up with Creative Visions Foundation to put together the 3rd and best ever A Cause for Comedy, and they want YOU to be a part of the show.
All you have to do is tell us what you think a Creative Activist is. Do you or someone you know use the arts and media to make a difference in our world? Grab your gas mask, your megaphone and head to your soapbox and tell us what a Creative Activist is.
When you're done with that, login at Causecast.org where you can upload a video, photos, or write a blog post. Make sure you tag it with "C4C" so they can find it.
Causecast will make a video mashup that will be shown on stage at A Cause for Comedy on Thursday, August 27th, 7:00 pm at the world-famous Hollywood Improv. Your message will be up there along side some of the biggest comedians, including Ben Morrison (Punk'd, AC4C), Ben Gleib (Chelsea Lately), Erin Foley (Last Comic Standing), Eric Schwartz AKA Smooth-E (YouTube), Hugh Moore (Live at Gotham) and Adam Richmond (Carson Daly), with a live pre-show hosted by Nadine Rajabi (Showtime).
