About the Event
Stand Up for Asheville is more than just a comedy show, it’s a community-driven effort to provide direct support to the comics, service workers, and residents affected by Hurricane Helene. Many in Asheville’s thriving comedy and arts scene lost everything, with no insurance or resources to fall back on. This event ensures that funds go directly to those in need, helping them rebuild their lives and the heart of Asheville’s iconic arts and tourism districts, including the River Arts District and historic Biltmore Village.
