Comedy fundraiser benefits Brooklyn Recovery Fund
In response to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, comedians Caroline Rhea and Sherri Shepherd headlined a comedy show on the stage of Stand Up NY last weekend for a benefit, “Stand Up to Sandy,” that raised than $5,000 for the Brooklyn Recovery Fund.
“The devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy in Brooklyn are no laughing matter, but Stand Up NY has found a way to turn the gift of laughter into the gift of charity for so many of our residents,” said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
