La Jolla Comedy Store To Host Benefit For Local Exotic Animal Sanctuary, Lions Tigers & Bears

The La Jolla Comedy Store is hosting a one-night-only comedy show to benefit San Diego’s only accredited exotic animal rescue, Lions Tigers & Bears.

An evening of laughter will ensue – for the benefit of rescued big cats and bears – featuring headliner Jonathan Kite of Jamie Foxx’s “Dad Stop Embarrassing Me” and “2 Broke Girls”, Zoltan Kaszas, Jason Rogers, Ali Malik, and Lizzie Rose.

Lions Tigers & Bears Founder, Bobbi Brink, will kick off the evening by saying a few words about her animal sanctuary and rescue work.

A safe haven for abused and abandoned exotic animals

Half of the revenue from ticket sales will be donated to the nonprofit, which is celebrating its 20th year providing a safe haven for abused and abandoned exotic animals.

Proceeds will go to benefit the sanctuary’s 65+ exotic and farm animal residents, providing food, enrichment, habitat maintenance, veterinary care, and the opportunity to rescue even more big cats and bears.


Tickets can be purchased online here.

See you there, San Diego!
