When it comes to cool and worthwhile fundriasers, the folks at 826NYC know how to throw-down. They're an amazing organization that does awesome and important work. Plus, they know how to put together killer benefit show. Here's the scoop on an event that's happening on April 10th at New York's Symphony Space:

826NYC, 826LA and McSweeney’s present "The World, Explained," an evening of erudite comedy and fact-based entertainment with John Oliver (Daily Show correspondent), David Rakoff (author of Fraud), Joshua Davis (the lightest man ever to compete in the U.S. Sumo Open), and Rodney Rothman (former Undeclared writer and author of Early Bird).
