Tonight I was at the Greg Giraldo Benefit at the Wiltern Theater. There was a great line-up of comedians who performed: Dave Attell, Bill Burr, and Daniel Tosh among others. Greg passed away late last year and the proceeds of this event will go to his three children. The photo is from the close of the night where all of the comedians came on stage along with the kids to a standing ovation. Greg had a BA from Columbia and a law degree from Harvard. Admirably, he left his job early on as a lawyer to follow his dream to become a stand-up comedian.
If you click on the image above you will be taken to the documentary that Comedy Central put out earlier this year entitled, "Give it Up For Greg Giraldo." There you will get an idea of the impact and respect that comedians such as Jon Stewart and Conan O'Brien had for Greg.
