Comedian Cat Ce is set to headline a benefit comedy show in Pasadena to support animals displaced by the California wildfires. The event will take place on Wednesday, 22 January 2025, at 9:30 PM at the historic Ice House Comedy Club. Proceeds from ticket sales will aid Pasadena Humane’s wildfire relief efforts, providing crucial support for overwhelmed shelters and displaced animals during this challenging time.
Cat Ce, a Chinese-American comedian, actress, and filmmaker, has made waves in the entertainment industry through her viral TikTok videos and appearances in productions like Snowfall and Space Jam: A New Legacy. Now a regular performer on the US comedy circuit, she is turning her talents toward philanthropy.
Speaking about the crisis, Cat Ce said: “It’s heartbreaking to see families lose everything and animals suffer alongside them. Shelters are at capacity and need our support. This show is a chance to unite, share laughter, and make a difference for these animals and the people helping them. I can’t wait to connect with everyone on this special night.”
The Ice House Comedy Club, located at 24 N. Mentor Avenue in Pasadena, is renowned as America’s oldest comedy club and has been a launchpad for some of the biggest names in comedy. Tickets for the event are priced at $25 and are available for purchase both online and at the venue.
Cat Ce has a history of using her platform to support charitable causes. She has previously hosted benefit events to aid the Asian American community, raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and support organisations like the NBA 2K League. Her passion for animal welfare has inspired her to encourage fans to get involved by donating, fostering, or volunteering at local shelters.
Pasadena Humane and other groups such as Best Friends Animal Society are at the forefront of wildfire relief efforts. Cat hopes the show will amplify their vital work and encourage donations. Contributions to Pasadena Humane can be made directly via their website at pasadenahumane.org.
In addition to her philanthropic work, Cat Ce is preparing for a nationwide comedy tour, bringing her unique blend of storytelling and humour to audiences across the United States. Full details and tour dates can be found on her official website.
The benefit comedy show promises to deliver an evening of laughter while supporting a worthy cause. As California continues to grapple with the effects of devastating wildfires, events like this highlight the importance of community and compassion in times of crisis.
