Improv Asylum Pulls An All-Nighter For Charity

BOSTON, Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- From 11:30pm on Saturday, December 21st until 7:30pm on December 22nd, Improv Asylum will offer non-stop comedy -- filled with improv and sketch comedy, sets from local stand-up comedians, auctions/giveaways, and celebrity guest appearances. Tickets are available now and can be bought at https://www.improvasylum.com/shows/asylum-all-nighter/ 

The Main Stage cast will be joined by alumni from all over the country as well as members of the NXT and New York casts for this all-night comedy extravaganza, where 100% of the proceeds will benefit Cradles to Crayons, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide children the essentials they need to thrive -- at home, school and play.

"For fifteen years, Improv Asylum has produced an all-night charity show," says co-producer Michael Anastasia, "It's an incredibly special night and we're so excited to partner with Cradles to Crayons for this year's event."

VIP tickets are $50 and come with a copy of Improv Asylum co-founder Norm Laviolette's book, "The Art of Making Sh!t Up." Standard tickets are $30. Both ticketing tiers allow audiences entry for the entire event, so audience members can come and go as they please.

Sponsors donating items for this year's auctions include tickets and VIP experiences to the Boston Celtics and the Boston Red Sox. Organizations sponsoring an hour include Laugh Boston, the Faneuf Law Group and the The Organic Project (TOP).
