The Fund for Women’s Equality and the ERA Coalition today announced their inaugural A Night of Comedy with Jane Fonda comedy event at Carolines on Broadway on Sunday, February 7.
Hosted by legendary actress, philanthropist and activist Jane Fonda the evening will include performances from Judah Friedlander (30 Rock), Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live), Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show), Michelle Buteau (Key & Peele and The Eric Andre Show), Gina Brillon (White Guy Talk Show) and additional names to be announced.
The inaugural event, produced by writer, filmmaker and activist Agunda Okeyo, will bring together supporters of women’s rights and equality, including Gloria Steinem, plus some comic relief. As a New Yorker of Kenyan descent lauded for her ongoing Broadway showcase Sisters of Comedy, Okeyo produces with a unique appreciation for humor, solidarity and social change. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception starting at 6:00PM, followed by the show at 7:30PM. Tickets for “A Night of Comedy with Jane Fonda” are available through the ERA Coalition website at http://www.eracoalition.org/comedy.
“Growing up in the business I have always felt it is important to use my voice and stand with my colleagues and friends to support women’s rights and equality. We hope to use the magic of comedy to help raise awareness of pay inequity, pregnancy discrimination, and violence against women, and to help promote constitutional equality for women,” said Jane Fonda, Event MC & member of the ERA Coalition Advisory Council.
