The 8th Annual
Laugh For Sight NYC All-Star Comedy Benefit, with headliners
Jerry Seinfeld and Robert Klein and featuring Hiram Kasten (among
others). The benefit, hosted by WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton In
the Morning’s” Craig
Carton,
will take place on Monday, October 28th at 7:00p.m. at
Gotham Comedy Club in New York City.
Laugh For Sight is
a non-profit organization focusing on improving public
awareness and raising funds for Retinal Degenerative Eye
Disease research. Founded in 2004 by stand-up comedian
Brian Fischler,
Laugh For Sight is the premiere comedy event for Retinal
Degenerative Eye Disease research that compiles a lineup of
“all-star” comedians that audiences usually never get to see
together on stage or under one roof.
Fischler, who
was diagnosed with the disease at age 12 and has been
visually impaired since his late 20’s, began the
organization 8 years ago to raise awareness about the
disease, which affects 1 in 3000 people. "It continues to
blow my mind the generosity of the comedy world and all of
the talented performers who continue to donate their time to
Laugh For Sight, and help us strive towards a cure for
retinal degenerative eye diseases”, says Fischler.
Previous at Laugh For Sight
events include Robert Klein, Steven Wright, Sarah Silverman,
Lewis Black, Jenna Elfman,
Kevin Pollak,
Kevin Nealon, Colin Quinn, Jim Gaffigan,
Pablo Francisco, Dave Attell,
Jim Norton, Bianca Kajlich,
John Oliver, Paul Rodriguez, Greg Proops,
Harland Williams, and many more.
The event begins at 7:00 p.m.
with a silent auction and cocktail reception, followed
promptly by the live stand-up comedy show at 8:30p.m. The
Gotham Comedy Club is located at 208 W 23rd St (between 7th and
8th Avenues).
Tickets will go on sale on Monday, September 9, 2013, and

or by calling 212-367-9000. Sponsorships are still being
