Several of New York City's biggest comedians are lending their support to the family of the late Greg Giraldo by putting on a "Big Time Comedy Show" in February to raise money for his three sons and ex-wife.
Tom Papa will host the event Feb. 9, 2011, at the Beacon Theatre, with performances scheduled by Jerry Seinfeld, Colin Quinn, Lewis Black, Dave Attell, Jim Norton, Judy Gold, Ted Alexandro and Jesse Joyce. Giraldo died on Sept. 29, 2010, at the age of 44.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, with prices ranging from $61.50 to $224.50 (plus surcharges) and are available through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com or 866-858-0008) and at the Beacon Theatre Box Office at 2124 Broadway.
Jerry Seinfeld makes me laugh to cry even before pronouncing a word. He’s a real talent and he does real comedy.
