Be There: Comics Come Home

The 13th annual Comics Come Home event, which raises money for the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care, is happening this weekend. Of course, Denis Leary is hosting, and Mike Birbiglia, the ubiquitous Lenny Clarke, Artie Lange, Jim Norton, Robert Kelly, Joe Yannetty, and Pete Correale will perform.

Birbiglia is a favorite in the -Ist-a-Verse and has talked to Gothamist and SFist. In his SFist interview, Birbiglia revealed what he thinks makes a joke funny: " I think a grain of truth posed in a way the audience has never considered. Also, bananas and farts and the word 'snausages' are very funny." He's right--how can there ever be too many snausages?

Bostonist would love to see what Jim Norton has to say about his buddies Opie & Anthony and their recent joke that Tom Brady had been suspended for substance abuse. (No, we're not Norton-bashing if he's working for a good cause, but a heckler will be out there somewhere.) So, have we given enough info to get you to open your wallet for the Cam Neely Foundation?
