Lovitz will perform opening night at The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, located on CityWalk at Universal Studios Hollywood. The club features a Hawaiian beach motif, complete with sand dunes, palm trees, and delicious food for club-goers, and boasts a three-story, 400 seat capacity in which to enjoy live music and stand-up comedy.
A long-time friend of Faith Kates Kogan, president of OCRF's Board of Directors and founder of NEXT Model Management, Lovitz has participated in several of OCRF's signature events throughout the years, including Super Saturday LA. NEXT Model Management will co-host the gala benefit.
"It feels good to be able to do something like that," Lovitz says of his support for OCRF. Referencing Gilda Radner and Madeline Kahn, he recognizes that many great women in comedy have been taken too soon from cancer. "The whole point is to raise money for a cure and also for early detection."
OCRF thanks Jon Lovitz for his ongoing support, and for all that he has done to spread awareness and raise funds to continue the progression of ovarian cancer research. We wish him the best of luck in his endeavor, and encourage everyone to stop by the club to enjoy a great night of entertainment.
