Feiffer is the creator of the self-titled Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoon series that ran in the Village Voice and syndication for 42 years. The 90-minute solo evening, which promises guest appearances by Robert Klein, Bill lrwin, Mike Nichols, Marsha Norman and Eric Bogosian, is held at Broadway's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

According to the Writers Guild East Foundation, Feiffer takes "the audience through his extraordinary career using a slideshow of comic strips, both his own and his contemporaries and the masters who inspired him as a boy. He will also highlight some of his artwork that has never before been shown in public. Feiffer has specially crafted his solo performance for this benefit and it will be the first time he has performed it in New York! The evening is a one-of-a-kind celebration of one of the great artistic lights of New York City."

Feiffer earned a Tony Award nomination for his play Knock Knock and also penned Grown-Ups. His short story "Passionella" inspired a portion of the Broadway musical The Apple Tree. His books include "Harry, the Rat with Women" and "Ackroyd."

Honorary chairpersons for the event are Alan Arkin, Candice Bergen, Kristen Chenoweth, Paul Dooley, Art Garfunkel, Elliott Gould, John Guare, Sheldon Harnick, Hugh Hefner, Bill Irwin, Robert Klein, Arthur Kopit, John Lithgow, Emily Mann, Bill Moyers, Richard Nelson, Mike Nichols, Oliver Platt, Stephen Schwartz, Stephen Sondheim, Gay and Nan Talese and Robin Williams.

Proceeds from Funny Side Up benefit such WGA East Foundation programs as Veterans Writing Workshops, Actors and Writers Book Clubs and WGA fellowship programs.
