NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 10, 2026--

Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE ) (“MSG Entertainment”) and the Garden of Dreams Foundation announced today the highly anticipated return of Garden of Laughs, which this year will be making its debut at Radio City Music Hall. Since 2013, this all-star comedy benefit has raised nearly $8.5 million for the Foundation, with the 2024 event raising a record $2M+ – the single largest fundraiser in Garden of Dreams history. The 2026 event, which features comedians Ronny Chieng, Zarna Garg, Josh Johnson, John Oliver, Andrew Schulz and Iliza Shlesinger, and is hosted by Steve Schirripa, will take place on April 13, 2026 at 8:00PM at Radio City Music Hall. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 13 at 10:00AM, with all net proceeds going to the Garden of Dreams Foundation.

This year, Garden of Laughs moves to the legendary Radio City Music Hall after the five previous events were held at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden. The event will again be hosted by Steve Schirripa, a long-time supporter of the Foundation and member of the Garden of Dreams advisory board, who is best known for his roles as Bobby Bacala in “The Sopranos” and Detective Anthony Abetemarco on “Blue Bloods.” Joining Schirripa and some of the biggest names in comedy will be entertainment and sports icons, to be announced closer to the show, who will serve as presenters for this special evening.

“I am honored to return as host for Garden of Laughs for the fifth time, and for the event’s debut at Radio City Music Hall,” said Steve Schirripa. “The Garden of Dreams Foundation has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people and their families in the tri-state area over the last twenty years, and it’s incredible events like Garden of Laughs that help make that possible.”

All five previous Garden of Laughs – staged in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2024 – have been sold-out events. Over the years, Garden of Laughs has featured comedy icons including Bill Burr, Michael Che, Jim Gaffigan, Sebastian Maniscalco, Heather McMahan, Tracy Morgan, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart and more.

The Garden of Dreams Foundation is a non-profit organization that works with the MSG Family of Companies – MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and Sphere Entertainment – to positively impact the lives of children facing obstacles. The Foundation works with 30 partner organizations throughout the tri-state area, including hospitals, wish organizations and community-based organizations, to reach children who are facing challenges such as homelessness, extreme poverty, illness and foster care.

Since it began in 2006, Garden of Dreams has used the magic of the MSG Family of Companies and its brands – including the New York Knicks, Rangers, Westchester Knicks, Radio City Rockettes, famed showplaces and regional sports and entertainment television networks – to brighten the lives of more than 480,000 children and their families. The Foundation takes pride in its commitment to truly change lives, hosting hundreds of meaningful programs and events each year. In addition, through its Community Projects program, the Foundation provides grants that fund important projects such as the refurbishment of gymnasiums and pediatric areas at local hospitals, and the construction of new dance and music studios. The Foundation also meets the critical needs of college-bound high school seniors by providing four-year scholarships to help students achieve their educational goals.
