A star-studded comedy event is scheduled to mark the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, according to a report from Deadline. The event, titled NYC Still Rising After 20 Years: A Comedy Celebration,, is set to take place at Madison Square Garden on September 12.
Among the performers who will be taking the stage that night are Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Jon Stewart, Tom Segura, Colin Jost, Jimmy Fallon, Pete Davidson, whose father passed away while responding to the attacks as a firefighter, and many more.
“We wanted to put on a fun celebration to honor this great city’s resilience,” said Stewart and Davidson in a joint statement. “It’s nice to be able to do this with friends and people we love.”
Tickets are set to go on sale this Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET.
Of course, because of the coronavirus pandemic, anyone who is set to attend the event will be required to show a proof of vaccination.
