Proceeds from this comedy show go directly to GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF DETENTION CENTERS. Come enjoy an evening of lightness and laughter while helping a most worthy cause.

We've all seen or heard about the horrendous treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers in detention centers run by our government. Most of us feel sickened and many feel helpless in the face of these atrocities. There is no better way to change those feelings than by doing something that actually helps those who need it most.

Detained immigrants, including people arrested in ICE raids and mothers separated from their children at the border, have the opportunity to be released on a cash bond which is like bail while fighting their immigration cases, rather than languishing in detention centers. However, most families cannot afford the high bond amounts set by ICE or immigration judges. There is no upper limit for immigration bonds, but some are as low as $1,500. That's where YOU come in! You can actually make a real difference right now.

We know, its hard to sit and laugh when you know this crap is going on. But you've got to do something on a Saturday night. And it might as well be supporting people in need while getting in a few laughs.

With Comedians: Mac Ruiz, Featuring Janesh Rahlan, Headliner Anthony Desamito and hosted by Vic Dubin.
