COMEDY NIGHT

A night of stand-up, dinner, and a room built to feel like a real club — featuring Joel McHale.

Friday, November 13, 2026 · Fremont Studios, Seattle · 21+

Featuring

Joel McHale

You know him from "Community," "The Soup," and FOX's "Animal Control" — and yes, he'll be back as Jeff Winger when the "Community" movie hits Peacock. Raised right here in Seattle (University of Washington, championship football team and all), tonight's basically a homecoming. Expect a set that doesn't let up.

▾More About Joel

McHale is currently hosting FOX's "The 1% Club" and stars in and executive produces FOX's hit comedy "Animal Control," now in its third season. He also appears in Season 3 of "Yellowjackets" on Paramount+ with Showtime and returned for Season 3 of FX's "The Bear." He hosts and executive produces FOX's "Crime Scene Kitchen" and E!'s "House of Villains," and previously hosted "The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale" on Netflix and twelve seasons of E!'s "The Soup." His other credits include "Stargirl," "The Great Indoors," Netflix's "Santa Clarita Diet," and Fox's "The X-Files" revival, along with film roles in "Ted," "Blended," "A Merry Friggin' Christmas," and "The Informant." McHale hosted the 2014 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner and the 2015 ESPYS, and is the author of "Thanks for the Money: How to Use My Life Story to Become the Best Joel McHale You Can Be." Born in Rome and raised in Seattle, he studied history at the University of Washington, played on their championship football team, and later earned an MFA from the Actor's Training Program.

Why We're Here

Purpose & Impact

No Family Should Start Over On the Floor

Most families leaving Mary's Place shelters start over in an empty apartment with just a few belongings, sleeping on the floor until furniture becomes available. Through its Make-a-Home program, Mary's Place changes that, and this year Comedy Night supports that work alongside the Windermere Foundation and Hauling with Heart.

The goal is simple: a bed for every family member, a table to eat at, and a couch to sit on as each family begins its new chapter.

Step 1

Windermere offices adopt a family

Our agents collect furniture and household items from their homes, clients, and networks.

Step 2

Hauling with Heart does the heavy lifting

Happy Hauler's nonprofit arm collects, stores, and delivers furniture to families, free of charge.

Step 3

Reveal day

Our agents set up the home while the family waits, then the family returns to a furnished home.

Your generosity on November 13 makes more reveal days possible. During the evening, a live paddle raise invites guests to support this partnership. Proceeds from Comedy Night benefit the Windermere Foundation, Mary's Place Make a Home, and Hauling with Heart.

▾About Mary's Place

Mary's Place is a local nonprofit whose mission is to ensure that no child sleeps outside by centering equity and opportunity for women and families. Through Make-a-Home, it partners with community donors to furnish families' homes as they move out of shelter and into permanent housing.

▾About Hauling with Heart

Hauling with Heart is the nonprofit arm of Happy Hauler. Together they collect furniture donations from the community, store items in their Fremont warehouse, and deliver directly to families in need. Their logistical support is what makes it possible for many Windermere offices to help furnish family homes without worrying about storage or transportation.

The Windermere Foundation has supported low-income and homeless families across the Western United States since 1989.

Windermere agents contribute a portion of every commission to the Foundation year-round. Comedy Night is one night where the whole community - agents, friends, family, and partners - comes together to multiply that impact.
