In the light of latest events, stand-up comedians want to help rise funds for families in Joplin who were affected by the May 22 tornado. This is why Yakov Presents STAND UP FOR JOPLIN, gathered a lot of stand-up comedians eager to perform on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 7pm in the Taylor Performing Arts Center at MSSU.
The stand-up comedy benefit show will be hosted by Yakov Smirnoff and performing on stage will be Bill Chott, David Koechner, Brett Butler and Michael Jr. The list is not final yet. There will be no reserved tickets and the people of Joplin won’t have to pay for the show.
