Comedy Cellar is hosting a sexual misconduct fundraiser after another Louis CK surprise appearance
-
The Tuesday night fundraiser -- scheduled two nights after CK's latest drop-in performance -- is a partnership between the comedy club and domestic violence and sexual assault activism organization partnership RALIANCE. The fundraiser will reportedly feature an all-female lineup. As Vivian Kane points out, "it’s hard to see this benefit lineup ... as little more than lip service tokenism, asking these female comedians to do damage control and bolster the club’s image in a way that it has proven it hasn’t earned."
