99% Funnies a weekly podcast and monthly comedy show fundraiser featuring Dave Reinitz (co-owner of Flappers), Dana Eagle (Last Comic Standing), Jimmy Dore (Comedy Central), and Michael Rayner (David Letterman). Each month we choose a different charity (often local micro-charities) to benefit from our show. In January, we celebrated our first full year of shows, and we are amping it up this year, working with bigger charities. We recently raised over $4000 for Flint, including two shows here in Burbank with Christopher Titus headlining the Main Room, our GoFundMe account, and a show we did in Flint.
