FUNDRAISER Puerto Rico Hurricane Maria Relief Improv Comedy Show

9/23 SATURDAY 3pm TIMES SQUARE
9/24 SUNDAY 3pm GREENWICH VILLAGE

Featuring Puerto Rican native and EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH cast member, Ivana Mendez.

A member since 2016, IVANA MENDEZ was born and raised in the tropical island of Puerto Rico. She recently graduated Pace University’s Dance program with a minor in Theater and Fine Art. You can catch her in TBS’s tv-show “Wrecked” or in Crackle’s Original series, “Start-up” next to her fake dad, Martin Freeman. (Ivana will be returning as Freeman’s daughter for season 2)

Help us raise $1000 for the relief efforts in Puerto Rico, which has been devastated by Hurricane Maria. At risk of sounding like a broken record but we as artist have limited resources. Our individual ability to give money is almost non existence. But we have the ability to inspire others and put some smiles on many faces. So join us for an interactive comedy show. EVERY PENNY from the door will be donated to relief efforts. Officials say PR may be without electricity for six months. Millions are stranded- including many that fled Irma and Jose from smaller islands – in need of food, water, shelter and hope!

We raised $500 for Harvey Relief from shows over Labor Day weekend and inspired a number of direct donations. We just donated $1000 to NO KID HUNGRY thanks to early sales for an ALMOST SOLD OUT New York Comic Con October 8th event with Mitch Pileggi. Come out this weekend and show your support, help us raise funds AND sends some smiles all the way to our brothers and sisters WAY down south by southeast.

Interactive Improvised Musical Comedy Revue. The cast of EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH presents original skits and songs created on the spot based on audience suggestions and participation.
