Welp, this combines two of our favorite things... comedy and charity because they BOTH make you feel good. Proceeds from this show go to Shelter Chic (a foster-based animal rescue run by volunteers).
ABOUT THE SHOW - FROM THE PRODUCER
The Time Out Critics' Pick comedy outfit BackFat Variety hosts its 3rd Annual ONE LINER MADNESS tournament on Tuesday, March 13 at Littlefield in Brooklyn.
This fast-paced, raucous contest goes from 64 comedians to a champion in just 90 minutes. It's a single-elimination, comedy version of March Madness, and participants advance based on audience applause. The show has raised more than $2,400 for charity, and this year all proceeds benefit SHELTER CHIC Animal Rescue (shelterchic.org), an organization that's saved the lives of thousands of animals in NYC.
Buy a ticket NOW to save a pup... and secure a seat before the show sells out.
HOSTS
Larry Mancini (of the band The Tracys) and Emily Winter (Glamour, NBC Late Night Writers' Workshop Script Judge)
