Abortion Access Front is finally giving an answer to the question asked by so many men:
“How can us straight dudes support abortion rights?” The answer: RAISE MONEY FOR US, dammit!!
And if the dudes asking are comedians, giving 15 minutes of their time on a Sunday night in May is literally the bare minimum they can do. In Bro V. Wade, some of stand-up comedy’s most hilarious have decided they are jumping on board to do just that!
Let’s be real: the sexual partners of cishet men almost ALWAYS shoulder the cost of birth control in their relationships, and almost always have ALL the abortions, so what a great way to give back and say, “This is a thank you for all the ways birth control and abortion have benefited me! “
BRO V. WADE: FUNNY DUDES. RAISING CASH. FOR ABORTION, is an evening of guys being hilarious and supporting Abortion Access Front, just as God intended.
This benefit show features David Cross (I’m From The Future), Dave Hill (The Pride Of Cleveland), Dean Obeidallah (SiriusXM), Jon Glaser (“Parks And Recreation”), John Fugelsang (SiriusXM), and Josh Gondelman (head writer, “Desus & Mero”). PLUS BONUS: Joyelle Nicole Johnson (Love Joy on Peacock) will act as our MC for the evening to keep them all in line.
Lizz Winstead, comedian, “Daily Show” co-creator and founder of Abortion Access Front, is over the moon about this stellar line-up:
“I am excited and grateful that so many of my favorite man-comics have seen the work we are doing at Abortion AF, want to be part of it, and want to help us raise money to continue it. With Roe V. Wade all but gone, we need everyone to show up, in VERY public ways, with their whole selves to say, “Not Today Satan.” Plus abortion benefits everyone, so this is everyone’s fight. Buy a ticket, laugh your ass off, and support abortion access. We literally could not make this any easier if we tried.”
PLUS THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL PODCAST:
As a bonus, the cast of Bro V Wade sits down with Lizz for a special episode of the Abortion Access Front podcast, “Feminist Buzzkills Live! to talk about why they have been such amazing and outspoken supporters of abortion rights. Drops June 2nd!

ABOUT ABORTION ACCESS FRONT
Founded in 2015 by comedian and Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead, Abortion Access Front (Abortion AF) is a nonprofit organization made up of comedians, writers and producers. They use humor to destigmatize abortion and expose the extremist forces working to destroy access to reproductive rights and abortion in all 50 states.
Abortion AF’s provocative and hilarious multimedia content educates people about the pervasive and discriminatory abortion laws that disproportionately impact underepresented people, especially in BIPOC communities, while also working on the ground, growing support and raising awareness for independent abortion providers- the community clinics who bear the brunt of anti-abortion legislation and harassment, and provide the majority of aboriton care in the country.
