Sober & Standing (up!)

Laugh & Heal

Please join us for an unforgettable evening of laughter and inspiration in support of Phoenix House California. Sober & Standing (up!) is a comedy show fundraiser that will be held on July 13, 2024 at the historic El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.

Humor, especially when shared, has an incredible power to heal, uplift, and connect us all. The lineup features stand-up comics who are all in recovery themselves and have turned their darkest moments into light they’ll share with us on stage. Their stories are proof that laughter really is the best medicine, it can spark the flame of change and lead to lasting growth.  But this event is more than just a night of jokes—it’s a celebration of resilience and community.

We are thrilled to present this special event in the spirit of the Phoenix: resilience, recovery, and rebirth. Your participation will help fund our life-saving programs and offer hope and healing to those who need it most! We hope to see you there!
