\n\tAs announced Tuesday (Aug. 25), The Boss will perform at the event \u2014 which raises money for members of the military facing injury or illness, as well as their families \u2014 on Nov. 9 at Lincoln Center in New York City. The Billboard Hot 100-topping \u201cOrdinary\u201d singer will also contribute live music in addition to The Resilient, a band that includes wounded U.S. combat veterans. Stewart, Josh Johnson and Hasan Minhaj are locked in to deliver comedy sets.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt marks a special milestone for Stand Up for Heroes, which is entering its 20th year of providing entertainment in partnership with the New York Comedy Festival to champion one of the country\u2019s most vulnerable populations. Since 2007, the event \u2014 presented by Bob Woodruff Foundation \u2014 has raised $117 million for veterans, their families and caregivers.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cTwenty years ago we put together Stand Up for Heroes with a simple idea: bring people together with laughter and music in honor of those who have sacrificed so much for our country,\u201d Bob Woodruff said in a statement. \u201cWhen we started this way back in 2007, we thought it would just be a one-time concert. But it\u2019s become one of the most meaningful nights of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThis year\u2019s benefit will take place three days into the 2026 New York Comedy Festival, which will run from Nov. 6 to Nov. 15 with a lineup spanning Adam Friedland, Ilana Glazer, Jordan Klepper, Ms. Pat, Sarah Sherman, Ziwe and more comics. The festival\u2019s founder, Caroline Hirsch, added of Stand Up for Heroes, \u201cWhat started as a single night has grown into a powerful and enduring tradition \u2026 as we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing to honor our heroes and share their stories for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tSpringsteen has a nearly perfect attendance record at Stand Up for Heroes, appearing at almost every one of the annual showcases since 2007. Over the years, musicians such as Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, The Lumineers, John Mayer, John Mellencamp and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have performed, as well as comedians like Stephen Colbert, Jim Gaffigan, Shane Gillis, Seth Meyers, Tracy Morgan, John Mulaney, Trevor Noah, Conan O\u2019Brien, Jerry Seinfeld and Robin Williams.<\/p>\n
