More comedians are giving back. A few weeks ago, Jay posted about the "Purpose Driven Comedy Show" in an effort to shame the rest of us. Well, we were shamed, but that probably isn't the reason we are seeing more charity shows produced by local comedians in the area. Personally, I don't like to give, I like to take, but that shouldn't stop you from laughing at these important causes.

The Obama benifit show is 15 dollars. It's at least worth 20, so that's a steal.
Also, we're trying to get Reverend Wright in to do a guest set, fingers crossed!
