THE ARMANDO BENEFIT SHOW: Comedy for Immigrant Rights (Benefiting CHIRLA)
Christina Calph’s adaptation of The Armando Diaz Experience—originally created by Adam McKay, Dave Koechner, and, of course, Armando Diaz—returns to The Elysian for a one-night-only special benefit performance.
This time, we’re joining forces to support an urgent and compassionate cause:
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA).
Every ticket sold helps fund vital resources, legal aid, and advocacy for immigrant families across Southern California.
This show features the brilliant actor and fashion icon HARVEY GUILLÉN (What We Do In The Shadows, Blue Beetle) as our guest monologist. Harvey will inspire a night of totally improvised comedy from some of the top performers in the country.
Featuring an all-star cast of improv legends:
Andy Daly (Review, Conan)
Seth Morris (Curb Your Enthusiasm, VEEP)
Ryan Asher (Second City, Comedy Central)
Brian Huskey (Bob's Burgers, VEEP)
Matt Walsh (VEEP, Novocaine)
Stephnie Weir (Mad TV, A Million Little Things)
Mike O'Brien (AP Bio, Saturday Night Live)
John Ross Bowie (Big Bang Theory, Speechless)
Hosted and curated by Christina Jacquelyn Calph (Arthur, Tower Heist), the event will also be livestreamed, so you can watch from anywhere and rewatch for up to 7 days after the show.
Date: Saturday, June 21st
Location: The Elysian Theater, Los Angeles
Proceeds: 100% donated to CHIRLA
Come laugh with purpose. Support families. Celebrate community.
Because comedy brings us together—and compassion keeps us strong.
