Tickets are available for purchase Sept. 12, at noon ET. NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stand Up for Heroes (SUFH)—one of New York’s most anticipated nights of hope, healing and laughter—returns for its 11th annual celebration to honor our nation’s injured veterans and their families, Tuesday, Nov. 7, at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. This year’s event will include performances by some of comedy’s biggest stars, including Hasan Minhaj, John Mulaney, Trevor Noah, Conan O’Brien, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, and other surprise guests. Stand Up for Heroes is presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF) and the New York Comedy Festival (NYCF), and is brought to you by Veterans on Wall Street, supported by founding sponsor GFI Group Inc., the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation and the Craig Newmark Foundation. Eleven years ago, SUFH was launched from an idea of Bob and Lee Woodruff and New York Comedy Festival founders Caroline Hirsch and Andrew Fox, as a tribute to our country’s service members. Recent world events and natural disasters have shown that it is more timely and important than ever for our nation to come together to support and recognize the valiant efforts of our armed forces. “Stand Up for Heroes is an opportunity for us all to put aside our differences and honor those who have, and continue to sacrifice so much for all of us,” said Bob Woodruff, ABC News correspondent and co-founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. “The power of coming together is even clearer as we reflect on Hurricanes Harvey and Irma where we were proud to see veterans stepping up as a force for good amid tragedy.” Since its inception in 2007, SUFH has raised more than $40 million to create long-lasting, positive outcomes for our nation’s injured veterans, service members and their families. This year SUFH will also be donating up to $500,000 from the event to support veteran organizations affected by recent disasters. This includes a $300,000 commitment to Team Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster relief organization. "Hurricane Harvey will undoubtedly be Team Rubicon's largest operation to date, and Irma was not far behind, but the veterans and disaster responders among our ranks are built to serve," said Jake Wood, CEO and co-founder of Team Rubicon. "Thanks to the continued support of the Bob Woodruff Foundation, we're able to empower our nation's best to tackle the worst." Formed in 2006, the Bob Woodruff Foundation has been a leader in the veteran community, forging partnerships at the highest levels of government, military, business and philanthropy. Beyond reaching veterans, service members and their family members across the country, investments in programs have bolstered hundreds of nonprofits serving veterans. Since its start, BWF has invested more than $42 million to find, fund and shape the most innovative programs supporting our heroes, touching the lives of veterans and their families across the country. In 2016, the foundation awarded $4.4 million in grants to nearly 50 programs. Beyond the laughs, the audience at SUFH can look forward to inspiring moments and entertaining surprises while spending an evening recognizing the men and women who have served and protected our nation, many of whom will be flown in for the event for an evening of laughs, inspiration, and celebration. The night is an opportunity for them and their families to truly enjoy themselves and stand proud. “We are honored to present Stand Up for Heroes for the 11th year with the Bob Woodruff Foundation, and to celebrate our nation’s heroes in such a special way,” said Caroline Hirsch, founder of the New York Comedy Festival and Carolines on Broadway and a Bob Woodruff Foundation board member. “Stand Up For Heroes is a chance to unite our community to provide support to the incredible individuals who have helped to protect our country. Nothing would be possible without the time and dedication from the performers and the generous supporters over the years.” Over the past ten years, comedians and performers including Bill Burr, Louis C.K., Stephen Colbert, Jim Gaffigan, Ricky Gervais, John Mayer, Seth Meyers, Conan O’Brien, Jerry Seinfeld, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart, Brian Regan, Ray Romano and Robin Williams have taken the stage to advocate for our extraordinary service members. Tickets for Stand Up for Heroes go on sale today at 12:00 p.m. EST through bobwoodrufffoundation.org, nycomedyfestival.com or ticketmaster.com. For those unable to attend, an online auction offers a variety of high- end experiences and items for bid. Corporate sponsor packages and VIP benefit packages can be purchased by emailing [email protected]. Stand Up for Heroes kicks off the New York Comedy Festival, which runs Nov. 7 – 12, and takes place at venues throughout New York City. Conan O'Brien will bring his show CONAN to the Apollo Theater for a week of shows, Nov. 6-9, during the festival.

The exhibition opened on ​ November 8, 2016, with special preview performances from November 2 - 6, 2016 during the NYCF. Paranoia Man in a Rat Fink Room continues after the festival with events and ​ ​ discussions brought together by Storefront through February 18, 2017. The exhibition follows a tradition of spatial experimentation at Storefront where the boundaries between architecture, art, and the subject are dissolved into one continuous environment. The installation is a historical pastiche of urban and architectural experiences linked through a mise-en-scène comprised of three architectural environments - a Canal Street style kiosk filled with the leftover DVDs and VHSs from Jungle Video (a now defunct media superstore in Los Angeles); a comedy club partially inspired by the original Rat Fink Room (the world's first dedicated stand-up comedy club, which opened in 1963); and a bathroom that has been converted into surveillance headquarters that will keep audio/video recordings of the last days of Storefront.
