FORGOTTEN HARVEST COMEDY NIGHT
Comedian Jim Gaffigan will headline the 
27th annual Comedy Night hosted by 
Forgotten Harvest. The nonprofit, which 
collects 40 million pounds of food annually 
from local markets, farmers, caterers and 
food wholesalers for redistribution, was 
started by the Jewish community, led by 
Nancy Fishman, in 1990. Rabbi Paul 
Yedwab of Temple Israel, a founding board 
member, came up with the name, and Hannan Lis was the former board chair. 
Gaffigan is known around the world for his unique brand of humor, which largely 
revolves around fatherhood and his observations on life and food. Comedy Night 
takes place on Friday, June 7, at the Fox Theatre. Tickets range from $35 -$175 and 
are available through the Fox Theatre box office or at forgottenharvest.org/
2019comedynight.
