Davidson's father, a firefighter, died after running into the World Trade Center on 9/11; Stewart has long been a vocal advocate on behalf of the Victim Compensation Fund

All proceeds from the show, “NYC Still Rising After 20 Years: a Comedy Celebration," will be donated to 9/11 charities

Anyone hoping to attend the event must be fully vaccinated and will be required to show proof of vaccination upon entry. Guests can present a physical copy of their vaccine card, or can by use the New York State Excelsior Pass or NYC COVID Safe App.

What did you expect, pleb? Just kidding (a little bit).

Maybe there's a much cheaper streaming option

Comedians should not be hosting a 9/11 memorial. It should be a sombre event.

I can see your argument of it shouldn’t be a comedy event. But Jon Stewart has done a lot for benefits for the first responders. He can host any event he wants in my eyes. Pete Davison I do not like but his dad passed in 9/11 I believe.

That's an excellent lineup.
