The 8th Annual Stand Up For Heroes Event is taking place at Madison Square Garden on November 5th, and once again the lineup is pretty stellar.
The night of comedy and music, presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation and New York Comedy Festival, will feature performances by Louis C.K., John Mulaney, John Oliver, Bruce Springsteen, Brian Williams and other surprise guests.
Tickets go on sale TODAY at noon, and will start at $250 and go up to $5,000. The charitable event has raised over $21 million in funds to help post-9/11 injured service members, and "the star-studded occasion honors the sacrifice of returning service members, veterans and their families."
Here's a little Springsteen from last year's event:
