The 13th Annual Patrice O'Neal Comedy Benefit

0 upcoming performances in New York

At New York City Center, The 13th Annual Patrice O’Neal Comedy Benefit returns as a New York ritual that keeps a singular comic voice in circulation. Named for Patrice O’Neal, the night reflects his path through stand-up and his on-air presence on *Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn* and the Opie and Anthony show, with performers drawing from the abrasive candor he made legible to mainstream rooms. It functions as both memorial and working showcase, reminding the city how comedy history gets preserved in real time. The most telling detail is the venue itself: a formal stage holding material built to resist polish.
