Jon Stewart, Bruce Springsteen and Hasan Minhaj to Perform at New York’s Stand Up for Heroes Event

Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart and Hasan Minhaj will headline the 20th annual Stand Up for Heroes event in New York City.

The variety show, taking place at Lincoln Center on Nov. 9 as part of the New York Comedy Festival, doubles as a fundraiser for the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which has raised $117 million for veterans, military families and caregivers since the inaugural Stand Up for Heroes in 2007.

The lineup also includes a comedy set from Josh Johnson and musical performances from the Resilient and Alex Warren. Tickets are available for purchase here.

“Twenty 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,” said Bob Woodruff, ABC News Correspondent and co-founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. “When we started this way back in 2007 we thought it would just be a one-time concert. But it’s become one of the most meaningful nights of the year. Think about that! Right there in the theater veterans and service members share the spotlight with unforgettable tributes by world-class performers. Those who come to the show will ensure that men and women serving today will not be left behind tomorrow. I look forward to taking the stage again as we celebrate how far we’ve come and as we renew our promise to always have the backs of the next generation of American heroes.”

Added Caroline Hirsch, founder and owner of the New York Comedy Festival: “For 20 years, we have brought together the extraordinary worlds of comedy, music and the military community for one unforgettable night to honor those who have sacrificed so much. Stand Up for Heroes began with an idea we developed with Bob and Lee Woodruff, and what started as a single night has grown into a powerful and enduring tradition. We are incredibly proud of the event we created and everything we have built together over the past two decades, and as we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing to honor our heroes and share their stories for years to come.”
