Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. and the Garden of Dreams Foundation have announced the highly anticipated return of Garden of Laughs – the all-star comedy benefit that has raised more than $6 million for the Foundation.
This year’s show, hosted by Steve Schirripa from The Sopranos and Blue Bloods, will include sets by newly added Tracy Morgan, Bill Burr, Michael Che, Chris Distefano, Jim Gaffigan, Heather McMahan, Sam Morril, and Jon Stewart, returning to The Theater at Madison Square Garden on March 27, 2024, at 8:00 p.m.
Morgan, a Garden of Dreams advisory board member, performed at the 2017 Garden of Laughs event, and was a presenter at the 2019 event. He has served as a mentor for the more than 100 children that participate in the annual Talent Show at Radio City Music Hall, one of the Foundation’s tentpole events; and he was the 2022 recipient of the Garden of Dreams Hero Award, which honors organizations or individuals that embody the spirit of the Foundation through an active and ongoing dedication to positively impacting the lives of children facing obstacles, while serving as a driving force and inspiration for others.
Just announced is the star studded celebrity and athletic presenters that include Victor Cruz, Susie Essman, Edie Falco, Whoopi Goldberg, Doc Gooden, Adam Graves, Henrik Lundqvist, Camryn Manheim, Jill Martin, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, John McEnroe, Chris Meloni, Marc Roberge, CC Sabathia, JB Smoove, John Starks, Ben Stiller, Kenan Thompson, Paul Wesley, and more.
“I’m so excited that Garden of Laughs is back,” said Steve Schirripa. “I’ve seen firsthand the monumental impact that Garden of Dreams has on the young people and families it serves, and I’m honored to host an event that enables the Foundation to make an immediate and enormous impact on the community.”
Garden of Laughs was previously staged in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019. All four previous events were sell-outs and raised more than $6 million for the Foundation. Over the years it has featured comedy icons including Sebastian Maniscalco, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and more.
The Garden of Dreams Foundation is a non-profit organization that works with the MSG Family of Companies – MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports, and Sphere Entertainment – to positively impact the lives of children facing obstacles. The Foundation works with 30 partner organizations throughout the tri-state area, including hospitals, wish organizations, and community-based organizations, brightening the lives of more than 425,000 children and their families.
