U.S. Military Veteran Comedians Performing to Benefit Homeless Veterans at the 4th Annual Comedy Night Friday, March 6, 2020
Homes for the Brave presents a lively and memorable night out at the 4th Annual “For Veterans By Veterans” Comedy Night, hosted at Vazzano’s Four Seasons on Friday, March 6th.
The “For Veterans By Veterans” Comedy Night features a buffet dinner, door prize, 50/50 raffle, and a hilarious lineup of professional comics, all of whom are U.S. Military Veterans. John Consoli (US Marine Corps), John Romanoff (US Army), Steve Scarfo (US Army), and Jody Sloane (US Coast Guard) are scheduled to perform. Proceeds raised from the event will fund programs and services that assist homeless Veterans f get back on their feet and successfully re-enter the community.
“Having U.S Military Veterans perform is essential to our Comedy Night,” said Phillip Modesti, combat Veteran (US Marine Corps), HFTB Board Member, and Event Chair. "We are Veterans helping our brothers and sisters. The night is one of both entertainment and impact."
