Andy Borowitz Live to Donate Proceeds From Tour Merchandise To IRC

Andy Borowitz, The New York Times best-selling author and comedian who has written for The New Yorker since 1998, is taking his satirical news column on the road and will be donating all the proceeds from his exclusive tour merchandise to the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises. Merchandise will be available at his upcoming show in Los Angeles as well as online at https://manea-merchandise.myshopify.com/

Andy Borowitz Live: The Make America Not Embarrassing Again Tour comes to the Dolby Theatre Wednesday, April 24th. An evening of stand-up comedy and storytelling, the show has played to sold-out theaters across the country. A limited number of VIP tickets will be available that include a post-show photo opp.

Borowitz has been called a Swiftian satirist (the Wall Street Journal), America's satire king (the Daily Beast), the funniest human on Twitter (the Times), and one of the funniest people in America (CBS News' Sunday Morning ). In 2001, he created the Borowitz Report, a satirical news column that has millions of readers around the world, for which he won the first-ever National Press Club award for humor. The Borowitz Report was acquired by The New Yorker in 2012.

His two most recent books were both best-sellers: The 50 Funniest American Writers, which became the first title in the history of the Library of America to make the Times best-seller list; and a memoir, An Unexpected Twist, a #1 best-seller, which Amazon named the Best Kindle Single of 2012. His Twitter feed, @BorowitzReport, has more than half a million followers and was voted the best Twitter feed of 2011 in a poll by Time. An award-winning TV producer, Borowitz created The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which aired for six seasons on NBC and still airs in syndication around the world. He returns to TV next fall as an on-air personality for a new PBS series, Retro Report.

As a comedian, he has performed sold-out shows around the world and has made countless television and radio appearances, including on National Public Radio, VH1, and Comedy Central.

Tickets for the Dolby Theatre show start at $29.75 (plus applicable service fees) and are available at https://dolbytheatre.com/events/details/andy_borowitz, Ticketmaster.com, 800.745.3000 or The Dolby Theatre Box Office.
