The 10th annual Comedy Unleashed event is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, at the Irvine Improv. This special evening is designed to provide live comedy and entertainment while benefiting the vital work performed by the Irvine Animal Care Center.
Comedy Unleashed operates as a fundraising event, dedicated entirely to supporting the center’s mission. All proceeds generated from ticket sales and additional activities during the event will directly fund critical care provisions, enrichment programs, and essential shelter services for animals currently awaiting adoption at the facility. These services are crucial for the well-being of homeless, neglected, abused, or unwanted animals that the center takes into its care.
Attendees of the event can look forward to a full evening's program. The experience includes a gourmet dinner, which is part of the ticket price, along with an array of live entertainment. An online auction will also be conducted, offering another opportunity for community members to contribute to the cause.
The highlight of the night will be the comedic performances. This year's lineup features three comedians: Jen Murphy, Eric Schwartz, and Cory Baumgartner, who are set to deliver hilarious acts for the audience.
Tickets for the 10th annual Comedy Unleashed are available for $56 per person. This cost is comprehensive, covering both the gourmet dinner provided as part of the event and the venue service fee, which the organizers note carries a $10 value. Admission is restricted to adults ages 18 and older, ensuring the content is appropriate for the audience.
For those planning to attend, doors at the Irvine Improv will open at 5:30 p.m., allowing guests time to enjoy dinner and other pre-show activities. The main comedy show is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Tickets can be secured either through online purchase channels or directly from the ticket counter located at the Irvine Improv itself. The Irvine Improv is situated at 527 Spectrum Center Drive, providing a central and accessible location for attendees.
The Irvine Animal Care Center, the beneficiary of this event, plays a significant role in the Irvine community. Beyond providing housing and care, the center offers vital enrichment activities for animals in its custody. It also extends various services to Irvine residents, including licensing for pets, facilitating pet adoptions, and organizing community events to foster responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. The center's mission encompasses the comprehensive well-being of animals in need, from initial housing to finding them suitable adoptive homes.
