Comedy Gives Back’s 24-hour streamed event will include “live” stand-up shows from four locations around the world - including Los Angeles, New York, London and Sydney – and feature top traditional and online comedians, in addition to content from today’s leading comedy sites.

Confirmed talent to date includes: Dane Cook (“Planes: Fire & Rescue”), Kevin Nealon (“Weeds”), Marc Maron (“Maron” on IFC), Reggie Watts (“Comedy Bang! Bang!”), Adam Bloom (The World Comedy Tour: Melbourne), Rove McManus (“Rove Live”), Greg Behrendt (“He’s Just Not That Into You") and his band “The Reigning Monarchs”, Ronny Chieng (“Dirty Laundry Live”), Kevin Pollak (“Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show”), and The Midnight Beast (UK).

“Through the massive social footprint and reach of our top-tier talent, corporate and comedy site partners, we have the ability to activate a vast audience and maximize support for the life-saving efforts of Malaria No More,” said Comedy Gives Back Co-Founder & CEO, Amber J. Lawson.

Virgin has already begun promoting the November 6th event on its LAUGH block of in-flight programming and The Standard: Downtown LA will be rolling out its integrated program soon as well. “We’re thrilled that, through in-flight and in-room programming, promotions, contests, and VIP viewing parties, we’ll be able to engage the hip, socially aware clientele of Virgin and The Standard with great content and for an excellent cause,” says Kristin Lundquist, Head of Brand Content and Sponsorships.

Comedy Gives Back and Malaria No More are innovative companies using the power of comedy to end malaria deaths. A video announcing the November 6th event can be viewed at: http://vimeo.com/68332222/.
