A Party for Mort

Comedy legend Mort Sahl will be honored on June 28 at the Wadsworth Theater in West Los Angeles with a special one-night benefit/tribute, the line-up for which sounds like a veritable Who's Who of comedy. I haven't seen any official list anywhere but the names that have been mentioned include Richard Lewis, Kevin Nealon, Paula Poundstone, Jonathan Winters, George Carlin, Albert Brooks, Shelley Berman, Jay Leno, Bill Maher, David Steinberg, Jack Riley and Robin Williams, along with taped tributes by Woody Allen, Sydney Pollack and Clint Eastwood. I'm guessing Clint will be the funny one.

I also haven't seen any official announcement of where one obtains tickets but I found them for sale on Ticketmaster and they ain't cheap. On the other hand, if most of those people are there, it might well be worth it.
