Garden of Laughs, the all-star comedy benefit first held in 2013 featuring Tony winner Whoopi Goldberg, among other talent, will return to the Theater at Madison Square Garden on March 28, 2015, at 8pm. All net proceeds will go to Garden of Dreams.

Lewis Black, Bill Burr, Dane Cook, Billy Gardell, and J.B. Smoove are confirmed to participate in this one-night event, with more stars to be announced. Steve Schirripa, known for TV's The Sopranos, will host. Garden of Laughs is executive-produced by Rory Rosegarten.

The Garden of Dreams Foundation is a nonprofit that works with Madison Square Garden to bring "the magic of MSG" to children facing obstacles. Over the last eight years, Garden of Dreams has helped more than 250,000 children and their families.

"I am honored to host Garden of Laughs, which will feature some of the funniest stars in comedy today," said Mr. Schirripa. "I have seen the impact of the Garden of Dreams Foundation up close for several years now, and I can’t think of a better charity to support with a night of nonstop laughs."
