Stand up for a cure or burst out laughing, either way it is sure to be a good time for a good cause.
Comedian Ryan Reiss is hosting the “Stand Up For A Cure!” event along with fellow comedians Angelo Lozado, hailed as one of the top 50 Latino comedians, Vladimir Caamano, an NBC Standup for Diversity Finalist and Carmen Lynch, a former semi-finalist on two seasons of NBC’s Last Comic Standing.
