Some top Saturday Night Live performers and writers are banding together for a fundraiser show to benefit the upcoming Off-Brodway adaptation of The Diary of a Teenage Girl. The lineup includes Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers, Will Forte, Jason Sudeikis, Abby Elliott, Jorma Taccone, John Mulaney, Hannibal Burress, Bridey Elliott, and Colin Jost. In true SNL fashion, musical guest The Renaldo The Ensemble will also perform. The whole shindig will be hosted by San Francisco based comedian Emily Heller.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl, orginally a critically-acclaimed graphic novel by Phoebe Gloeckner, is the story of a teenager growing up in 1970s San Francisco who has an affair with her mother’s boyfriend. The stage adaptation is the work of Marielle Heller (who also happens to be the wife of SNL writer Jorma Taccone). It will begin its run at the 3LD Art & Technology Center in March.

The (spectacularly titled) show, Beyond Funderdome Comedy Blowout, will happen Jan. 31 at 8 pm at the 3LD Art & Technology Center in New York. General admission tickets are $85. VIP tickets are $150, if you want to partake in some pre-show drinking and schmoozing with the stars. For tickets and more information, visit thediaryofateenagegirl.com.
