As we endure the inauguration of the worst person on the planet, we’re turning despair into defiance with an unforgettable night of comedy to support Climate Defiance in their fearless fight against the climate crisis.

This powerhouse lineup features the razor-sharp wit of Kasaun Wilson (NBC’s Last Comic Standing), the sharp and satirical Abby Govindan (NY Comedy Festival, Funny or Die), the hilarious insights of Winston Hodges (Don’t Tell Comedy), and the comedic brilliance of Reem Enos (Kennedy Center’s District of Comedy Festival). Hosting the night is the ever-charming and hilarious Chris Blackwood (DC Improv, CBS, Vermont Comedy Festival).

Because when the going gets tough, the tough get funny—and we fight for a better future.

Trump is nominating Chris Wright, an oil and gas executive, to be our country’s Energy Secretary. Meanwhile, fires rage across Los Angeles taking lives, homes, and livelihoods. Nearly 200,000 people have been forced to evacuate, and the entirely uncontained Palisades Fire is the most destructive in LA history.

Billionaires caused this crisis and devastation, and we won’t stand for it. While millions of eyes are on Chris Wright’s hearing, we will take action to expose the corruption of Chris Wright, Donald Trump, and fossil-fuel backed politicians. Join us.

More details will be shared closer to the event with those that sign up.
