Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Jeff Ross, Nick Kroll and other comedy stars will headline It’s No Joke, a fundraising event to benefit Project ALS research in honor of Kimmel’s godson and Las Vegas resident Joey Porrello, on May 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at the Linq Promenade. A limited number of tickets are available to the public via email at [email protected], with prices ranging from $500 to $1,250. The 175-seat club will definitely fill up for this event, which also features a silent auction full of exclusive experiences and items. Porrello, whose father attended Clark High School in Las Vegas with Kimmel, was diagnosed with ALS last year and retired from his civil engineering job. Since then he’s been partnering with organizations like Project ALS, based in New York, to raise awareness about the disease and fund research to find a cure.
