Way too many people on the East Coast are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Some just lost power, some flooded, while others lost literally their entire homes and memories. As they’re prone to do, the comedy community is rallying to help out those still hurting from the storm. From the big, well-known comedians to the ones banging out spots in clubs all around the city, everyone is trying to help.
In order to keep track of it all here’s a running list of Sandy benefit shows comedians are putting on in the area. Buy a ticket, head out, laugh your ass off and help out. Oh and if there’s a show not on this list, just leave details in the comments and we’ll work to keep it as updated as possible.
