COMEDY VS CANCER SELLS OUT AGAIN AT JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER AS COMEDY'S BIGGEST NAMES HOST NIGHT OF LAUGHTER AND IMPACT

The sold-out Comedy vs Cancer event took place on May 16, 2025, at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, featuring a star-studded lineup hosted by Nick Kroll, with performances by well-known comedians including the hosts of Late Night, a prominent stand-up comic known for her sharp wit, and a celebrated storyteller-comedian.
Established in 2019 by Nick Kroll and colleagues, the event's purpose is to generate funding dedicated to advancing research on blood cancers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
It recognized philanthropic leader Carrie Goldberg for her dedication to advancing research on blood cancers, with a focus on acute lymphoblastic leukemia, an aggressive childhood leukemia that MSK is targeting through innovative clinical trials.
The benefit raised a record-breaking $2.3 million to support MSK’s mission, with Ivan Maillard noting the proceeds ‘‘fuel groundbreaking research and accelerate new treatments we couldn’t advance otherwise.’
This event continued Comedy vs Cancer’s contribution to raising over $7 million since its inception, reinforcing its role as a vital support for innovative blood cancer therapies at one of the nation’s top cancer centers.
