Foster Your Dream Benefits from Launch of Comedy Cabaret for Disgruntled Humans
"Comedy Cabaret for Disgruntled Humans" launches its premier event and will benefit "Foster Your Dream," a 501c3 that connects Foster Children with Dreams and Opportunities.
New York, NY, April 25, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Foreign Policy Pundit Bill Hartung and Award-Winning Producer Sue Wolf premieres a new variety show "Comedy Cabaret for Disgruntled Humans," at 5:00 pm May 17 at the Caveat Room, NYC to benefit foster children.
100% of streaming tickets and 50% of in-person tickets will go to benefit "Foster Your Dream," a non-profit public benefit corporation that focuses on enriching lives for foster kids and their families and/or caregivers.
On Sunday, May 17 at 5:00 PM, 20th Century Wolf presents a fast-paced comedy-variety show created by award-winning director/producer Sue Wolf and hosted by stand-up comic and foreign-policy commentator Bill Hartung, at the Caveat Room, New York City.
“People are in a state of shock over all the bad news raining down on them, and they don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or roll into a little ball,” said Hartung.
“We created a rich mix of stand-up comedy, satire, and sketches with live music because the state of the world is, frankly, exhausting” said Wolf who added "what better way to heal the world and help foster children at the same time, right?"
Headliner Jimmy Tingle, a legendary Boston comic who ran for LT. Governor, mixes it up with comedians Kristal Adams and Nicole Aboujaoudé, with "stick-figure news-updates" by humor contributor to the New Yorker Tim Cahill and music by Tom Lehrer interpreted by Donovan Counts and Ren Ragsdale.
“Doomscrolling can ruin your day—so come to our cabaret,” Hartung added. “You definitely want to be there for the debut of the next big thing in comedy-variety shows.”
Wolf, who’s producing credits include comedy programming for HBO, Comedy Central and the New York stage started "Foster Your Dream" 18 years ago and says “We’re building a space where disgruntled humans can gather and heal through humor and help others!"
Hartung, whose work includes an award-winning one-person show and the book The Trillion Dollar War Machine, joins Wolf in launching what they describe as the first in a continuing series of live comedy-cabaret events responding to today’s cultural moment.
Presented at Caveat—New York’s home for “intelligent night-out” entertainment—Comedy Cabaret for Disgruntled Humans revives the spirit of classic variety performance while speaking directly to today’s moments, both good and bad.
The performance will be presented live in person and via livestream.
100% of livestream tickets and 50% percent of live-show proceeds will benefit Foster Your Dream, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting foster youth, one dream at a time, through the arts and opportunities that state-parenting does not provide.
