From our good buddy Andy Cobb, who has done so many of the humorous political videos we've posted on the blog:
In my spare time I volunteer and teach acting at Hollywood Arts, a homeless services center for 18-25 year old kids in Los Angeles who are too old for foster care but still without a home, family, or supportMore info on Facebook.
It's a great bunch of folks, and I'm organizing a benefit this weekend for them at Second City Los Angeles. Myself and some other Second City alums will be improvising for 24 hours straight to raise money for a scholarship fund for Hollywood Arts. We'll have celebrity special guests, musicians, and generally a kickass lineup of entertainment for all 24 hours. Plus, myself and some other alums will be onstage pretty much constantly, slowly losing our health and minds for a great cause.
The show will feature veterans of shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, MTV's Wild N Out, Current Television, Groundlings, Second City, SNL, FrankTV, Reno 911, 30 Rock, Last Comic Standing, The Office, Daily Show, Chocolate News, According To Jim, Heroes, Lie To Me. MAD TV, and Parks And Recreation.
We'll be livestreaming the event here (nothing fancy, a one-camera setup) http://www.ustream.tv/channel/24-hours-of-improv starting at 9:30 PM PST Friday Dec 4, till 9:30 PM Saturday night Dec 5.
