“
A Night of Comedy VI will welcome an amazing line up of comedians that have all volunteered their time and talent to help us support children affected by this global epidemic,” said
Children Affected by AIDS Foundation founder and board chair
Joe Cristina. “It’s amazing to be part of an event that incorporates the healing power of laughter to support children in need. I would like to personally thank Doris and Ray for their continuing support as well as all of the performers involved this year.”
Romano and
Roberts have been involved in
Night of Comedy since its inception and the event has raised more than $1 million to benefit the Foundation. Last year’s sold-out event featured performances by
Romano, Silverman, George Lopez, Kevin James and
Bryan Callen and raised more than $200,000 for direct services for children affected by HIV and AIDS. The
Children Affected by AIDS Foundation is the only organization solely devoted to providing social, educational, recreational and other critical support programs to vulnerable children impacted by HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and other countries.
