Comedy Night Helps Pets Impacted by Los Angeles Wildfires

In Playa Vista, the Annenberg PetSpace is known for its entertaining “Stand Up for Pets” events. These comedy nights have been a hit for years, and the upcoming event on January 22 promises to be a heartwarming effort to assist pets affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that began on January 7.

Hosted by actor David Koechner, best known for his roles in Anchorman and other comedies, the evening will feature a lineup of animal-loving comedians. All proceeds will benefit the California Animal Medicine Project (CAMP), which provides free veterinary care to pets impacted by the wildfires. According to a PetSpace representative, CAMP’s mission is to “substantially reduce animal shelter euthanasia and intake by providing high quality, low-cost veterinary services to underserved communities in the Los Angeles area.”

General admission tickets are $25, with table seating available for $40. Guests are encouraged to bring unopened pet food or supplies such as crates and beds to help families and animals directly affected by the fires. Donations will make a real difference for those in crisis.
