Did you miss Kung Pao this year and would like to receive a YouTube link to watch one of the shows?

Well, for a donation of any amount (though $20 or more is suggested), you can!

We’ve done this after the show the last several years and have donated 100% of the money raised (about $1000 each year) to a different organization each year: SF-Marin Food Bank, The ACLU, a farmworkers’ org…

This year, we’ve chosen Elayne Boosler’s animal rescue non-profit, “Tails of Joy.”www.tailsofjoy.net

Your donation is tax-deductible, and 100% will go to animal rescue.

As Elayne says on the web site: The only way you could donate to help animals more directly would be to hand a dog or cat five bucks.

Click here: www.tailsofjoy.net to learn about Tails of Joy and then donate directly by clicking on the Donate paw. Donation info:
www.tailsofjoy.net/donate

And then let us know ([email protected]) that you donated, and we will send you the link, which will be good until Sun Jan 18.

We are staffed entirely by volunteers; 100% of every donation is dedicated to animal welfare. Please donate today. No amount is too small. It all adds up!

Kung Pao Kosher Comedy founder Lisa Geduldig said the idea began years ago after a conversation with a friend.

"Out of that conversation, a joke of an idea — to do a Jewish comedy night on Christmas in a Chinese restaurant — and I came back to San Francisco, couldn’t get it out of my mind, wrote a press release, hired some comics," Geduldig said. "Which was like a Woody Allen skit in itself, trying to explain Jews and Christmas and Chinese food."

Join us Dec. 24-26, in SF's Chinatown and via livestream.
