EVERGREEN, COLO., April 14, 2025 – We could all use some laughter, and Congregation Beth Evergreen has just the ticket. Literally! The entire community is invited to Beth Evergreen’s Annual Comedy Fundraiser with hilarious comedian John Novosad (a.k.a. “Hippieman”) – live and in person on Sunday, May 4, at 3:00 p.m.
Tickets are $36 (age-appropriate for 16+), which includes John’s stand-up performance, an opening music act, a Jewish Food Auction, and light refreshments (margaritas and a nacho bar). Childcare is provided for $5/child, which includes a live magic show for the kids and snacks. All proceeds benefit Congregation Beth Evergreen. Please register here.
A powerhouse of humor on stage, John is a stand-up comedian based out of the Comedy Works in Denver. He has performed in clubs, theaters and bars across the country. John made his network debut on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and appears on Byron Allen’s nationally-syndicated Comedy TV. And on May 4, he will be live on Congregation Beth Evergreen’s great stage!!
Opening for John will be Denver’s very own 5280 A Cappella. Named one of the “Top Vocal Groups” in Denver, 2019 Winners for “Album of the Year,” and nominees in 2018 for “Pop Group Of The Year” by the A Cappella Music Awards, 5280 A Cappella brings a burst of infectious energy through their voices and non-instrumental repertoire of rock and roll, jazz, country, folk and pop.
In addition, Rabbi Jamie Arnold will be sure to “ham it up” as the whimsical auctioneer at the annual and iconic Jewish Food Auction, sharing those hard-to-find traditional Jewish delicacies with a twist that you do not want to miss.
The comedy fundraiser event is being held in person at Congregation Beth Evergreen, 2981 Bergen Peak Dr., Evergreen. Parking is available in the Beth Evergreen lot, and overflow parking at Rocky Mountain Academy (up the hill).
