CRASHING, which is now in it’s 3rd season on HBO, recently hosted CRASHING Live!, a night of stand-up at the New York’s Gramercy Theater to benefit the Ronald McDonald House of New York City.

Some of comedy’s biggest acts performed in the name of benefiting the charity which provides temporary lodging for families whose children are receiving local treatment for cancer. A portion of the proceeds from every ticket was donated directly to the Ronald McDonald House to continue its mission. Pete Holmes and Judd Apatow of the HBO series hosted Crashing Live! – a night of stand-up at the intimate venue.

If you’re not familiar, the HBO series, Crashing, tells the story of Pete, a sheltered suburbanite who married his childhood sweetheart and dreams of making it as a stand-up comedian. But when he finds out his wife is cheating on him, his world unravels, forcing him to reevaluate his priorities and plunging him into the deep end of the rough-and-tumble New York comedy scene.

The recent sold-out evening raised a total of $23,186 and featured acts including Pete Holmes, Judd Apatow, Jamie Lee (Crashing, Girl Code), John Mulaney (Saturday Night Live) and Jaboukie Young-White (The Daily Show with Trevor Noah). Regina Spektor was the musical guest.

A longtime tv favorite returns with six new episodes of her Emmy^®-nominated series September 28th on HBO.  Tracey Ullman is back as she brings us a wide variety famous faces and everyday people in the sketch comedy show, which looks at modern life and current social figures through a comedic lens.

Over the course of the new season, Ullman uses her signature brand of sharp satire to shape-shift into a range of public figures and offbeat original characters. She reprises her characterizations of Dame Judi Dench, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Jerry Hall, and introduces her takes on British Prime Minister Theresa May, French First Lady Brigitte Macron and U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, among others.

More topical than ever before,  Tracey Ullman satirizes today’s culture, including television’s latest obsession with strong but messy female characters, the future possibilities for smart-home devices, life in a post-Brexit world and the absurdity of the 24-hour news cycle.
