Host Chris Spencer Leads Lineup of Nationally Recognized Comedians For A Great Night of Comic Relief

GLENDALE, CA, UNITED STATES, July 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In January 2025, the Eaton Fire destroyed Pasadena Rosebud Academy's school building, displacing 175+ students and staff. The school, known for its mission to close both the achievement gap and the wealth gap by teaching students they belong in the ownership economy, has continued classes at a temporary site while raising funds for a permanent build. "Stand Up For Students" represents the second year of the community's commitment to laughter, legacy, and educational equity.

Pasadena Rosebud Academy is thrilled to announce the return of their comedy fundraiser– the school’s second annual event benefiting the school's rebuild efforts. The show will feature an all-star lineup of comedians and talent to raise funds toward the school's $500,000 goal to construct a new, permanent, state-of-the-art facility.

The evening will be hosted by writer, producer, comedian, Chris Spencer. The lineup also features nationally recognized comedians Jesus Trejo, Reg Thomas, Felicia Folkes, Chase Anthony, and Aida Rodriguez with a DJ set by the phenomenal DJ Iesha Irene.

“I’ve been doing comedy my whole career, but some shows mean more than others. This is one of them. Pasadena Rosebud Academy lost their building but never lost their mission — and that kind of resilience deserves a standing ovation. July 12th, we’re going to laugh, we’re going to give, and we’re going to help these kids get the school they deserve”
-Chris Spencer
