Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign is hosting a comedy show with several household names as he taps into his celebrity connections to boost his ballot access efforts.
The campaign will hold an event Feb. 21 titled “A Night of Laughter With RFK Jr. & Friends,” featuring several comedians, actors, and entertainment industry allies to raise money for his presidential bid.
Kennedy’s wife, Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Cheryl Hines, is emceeing the event at the Million Dollar Theater in Los Angeles.
Other featured guests include comedians Tim Dillon, Rob Schneider, Mike Binder, Bobby Lee, Dustin Ybarra, Tre Stewart, and Adam Carolla. The campaign also teased “surprise guests” appearing during the show.
According to the Kennedy campaign’s website, the Los Angeles event will be “the first of several comedy shows around the country as we forge our way to the White House.”

Tickets for the show alone are being sold for $150, but guests also have the opportunity to purchase a spot at the event’s after-party, along with “preferred seating” for $1,000. For those willing to splurge, tickets for seats in the first few rows, in addition to after-party access, are going for $1,500.
At the after-party, guests have the opportunity to speak with Kennedy and Hines, as well as the various comedians and special guests at the show. “Enjoy a cool vibe, scrumptious bites, cocktails, and more!” the campaign website reads.

Additional dates and locations for Kennedy’s comedy shows have yet to be announced by the campaign.
Per Kennedy’s “Ballot Access HQ,” he has obtained access to ballots in both Utah and New Hampshire and is “in progress” in 17 other states. In several other states, the window is open to qualify for the ballot, but a running mate is needed. Those states are listed as “pending vp announcement.” An additional 11 locations are not yet open to attempt ballot qualification.
