Byron Allen has managed to round up the world’s biggest comedians for an event that he’s created called the “Feeding America Comedy Festival” that will lend support to the Feeding America organization.
Allen told TMZ some of the people who are scheduled to participate and right now he has top tier comedians like Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, George Lopez, Tiffany Haddish, Chris Rock, Whoopi Goldberg + more.
“I was sitting around the house in the backyard here about a couple of weeks ago, and I just said I cannot handle watching human beings worry about their next meal,” Allen explained. “Food insecurity in this country is completely unacceptable, and I’m watching families in their cars for eight hours trying to get a box of food, and I just said this is ridiculous,” Allen continued. “I can’t sit here and watch this. We have to do something about it.”
The comedy festival will air on NBC on May 10 from 7P-9P Eastern Time.
