The event marks the second installment of the benefit, following the inaugural NYC Still Rising After 20 Years: A Comedy Celebration in 2021. Dixon Talent, WME Comedy, and Live Nation Comedy worked together to bring this event to fruition.
The event will be a phone-free experience. Use of phones, smart watches, and accessories will not be permitted in the performance space. Upon arrival at the venue, all phones, smart watches, and accessories will be secured in individual Yondr pouches that will be opened at the end of the event.

All devices will be re-secured in Yondr pouches before returning to the performance space. Anyone seen using a device (phone, smart watch, or accessories) during the performance will be escorted out of the venue by security.
