Comedians Unite for L.A. Wildfire Benefit March 3

As the awards season approaches, contrasting events highlight the entertainment industry's response to recent wildfires in Los Angeles. While Vanity Fair's Oscar party is criticized for lacking a charitable component, high-profile comedians are set to perform at 'Comic Relief: Stand-Up for L.A.' in New York on March 3, raising funds for wildfire recovery efforts. This event will feature notable comedians like Jon Stewart and John Oliver, with proceeds benefiting underserved communities affected by the fires. Additionally, the 'Angels of Comedy' event in Los Angeles on February 13 will support wildfire victims, honoring first responders and providing a night of entertainment. Networking opportunities for industry artists are also being organized to further aid recovery efforts. These initiatives stand in sharp contrast to Vanity Fair's self-serving celebration, emphasizing the need for community support in times of crisis.
