Ben Morrison and Causecast Present
A Cause for Comedy to Benefit Project Angel Food:
May 7th @ The Hollywood Improv

As the old saying goes, "Laughter is the best medicine."

To aid that effort, Causecast is proud to present A Cause for Comedy where proceeds benefit a different charity each month. This month we'll be raising money for Project Angel Food - an excellent organization that provides daily meals and comfort for people homebound or disabled by HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses in the Los Angeles area.

A Cause for Comedy is hosted by the very funny Ben Morrison (Punk'd). The night will also feature sets by Ahmed Ahmed (Vice Vaugn's Wild West Comedy Tour), Bret Ernst (Weeds), Iliza Shlesinger (Last Comic Standing) and Kate Micucci (Scrubs). This lineup will definitely leave you laughing and for a great cause at that. We hope to see you there!

Buy your tickets online now before they sell out for $10, $20 or $50 and/or you can get them at the door! Since proceeds benefit Project Angel Food, we've decided to leave it up to you to choose how much you wanted to give.

We look forward to seeing you Thursday for a great evening of laughter, fun and philanthropy!

If you don't live in Los Angeles, we've got you covered. You can watch the entire show broadcast LIVE from the Improv at ACauseForComedy.com. There is no charge to watch the live-stream. We only ask that if you laugh once or twice, that you make a donation to Project Angel Food. Karma is as easy as that.
