The all-star lineup includes Mick Betancourt (HBO, Comedy Central), Todd Glass (Conan O’Brien, Sarah Silverman Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live), Bret Ernst (Vince Vaughn’s “Wild West Show,” The Comedy Store), John Roy (“Craig Ferguson,” “The Tonight Show”), and Tracy MacDonald (“Star Search” Grand Champion, Spike TV).

End Dependence – started in February 2007 - is a 501(c)3 public benefit organization which greatly assists individuals whose lives have been destroyed by substance dependency.
In its first year, End Dependence provided financial grants for 31 individuals, and hopes to increase that number this year. Los Angeles County is an area the organization hopes to focus on, as methamphetamine abuse is an epidemic.
The organization aims to give individuals access to innovative and biologic therapies for treatment of addiction.
“Innovative treatments are the gateway to long-term recovery. Without the biologic component, it’s extremely difficult for even the most motivated individuals to live drug-free. We offer
that piece of the puzzle and it has had a profound impact on people’s lives,” says Kim Zanti, Executive Director of End Dependence.
General Admission Tickets are available for $50.00 - $75.00. VIP Tickets – which include orchestra seating and entrance to the VIP pre & post-receptions - are available for $125.00.
