The Garden of Dreams Foundation is bringing back its Garden of Laughs comedy benefit for the first time since 2019 to raise money for its mission to positively impact the lives of local children facing obstacles.
Actor and Garden of Laughs host Steve Shirripa dropped by the Jim Kerr Rock and Roll Morning Show on Thursday to announce the event's all-star lineup, featuring some of the biggest names in comedy: Bill Burr, Michael Che, Chris Distefano, Jim Gaffigan, Heather McMahan, Sam Morril and Jon Stewart.
Garden of Laughs will be held at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on March 27 at 8 p.m.
Tickets go on sale Friday, February 16 at 10 a.m., via Ticketmaster and will be available at the Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and Beacon Theatre box offices starting Saturday, February 17.
“I’m so excited that Garden of Laughs is back,” Schirripa said in a press release. “I’ve seen firsthand the monumental impact that Garden of Dreams has on the young people and families it serves, and I’m honored to host an event that enables the Foundation to make an immediate and enormous impact on the community.”
The Garden of Laughs was previously staged in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019, with all four events being sellouts, raising more than $6 million for the Foundation.
