About A Cause for Comedy
A CAUSE FOR COMEDY, presented by Causecast, is a live-streamed monthly comedy series, partnering top nonprofits from the Causecast community with a rotating slate of comedians, all to raise funds and awareness for worthwhile causes. The show currently takes place in the world-famous Hollywood Improv, with 100% net proceeds from ticket sales benefiting each nonprofit.

Local Los Angeles residents can buy tickets and join Causecast at the Hollywood Improv. Those not able to attend in person are encouraged to donate with the money they saved by watching online.

Livestreaming made possible through our partner Stickam.

About NextAid
NextAid is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization committed to developing and implementing innovative solutions to the challenges facing African children.

Proceeds from A CAUSE FOR COMEDY are going toward NextAid’s pilot project, the building of a community center and children’s residential village in Dennilton, an impoverished and AIDS-affected community in rural South Africa. The center will not only provide much needed shelter and care for 30 children but will also provide for hundreds of other children, teens and adults in the community with after-school programs and economic enterprise opportunities. NextAid broke ground in 2005 working with green builders and ecological architects and has since completed 16 structures, with a goal to complete the entire project in time for the World Cup in 2010.
