"As the Comedy Night kicks off, it’s not just about laughter; it’s about raising awareness and showing our unwavering support for Veterans facing homelessness," said Phillip Modesti, a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and Comedy Night Co-Chair, "This night of laughter goes beyond just entertainment—it’s about bringing people together, sharing joy, and making a real difference in the lives of our Veterans. It’s not just about the punchlines; it’s about offering support and hope to those who’ve given so much for our country. As we laugh, we also lift up the spirits of those who’ve sacrificed for our freedom, reminding them they are never forgotten. Through this event, we not only celebrate humor, but also stand united in our commitment to ensuring our Veterans have the support and opportunities they deserve."

Homes for the Brave is proud to have three talented comedians in the lineup for the night, all of whom are Veterans of the U.S. Military: Johnny Watson (U.S. Navy) as the headliner, Jody Fuller (U.S. Army) as the co-headliner, and Steve Scarfo (U.S. Army) as the opening act.
