"Seth Rogen Smokes the Bowl" will support the actor and his wife Lauren Rogen's Hilarity for Charity, a national nonprofit that supports families impacted by Alzheimer's disease. The couple founded the charity in 2012 shortly after Lauren's mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at just 55 years old.

Rogen previously hosted Seth Rogen's Hilarity for Charity stand-up special on Netflix to raise awareness to the disease. You can still stream his Netflix special, which featured guest appearances from comedians like Ike Barinholtz, Michael Che, Jeff Goldblum, Tiffany Haddish, John Mulaney, Chelsea Peretti, Craig Robinson, and more.

Apart from Rogen's event, Netflix Is a Joke will also feature "Wanda Sykes: Please and Thank You Tour" at the Dolby Theater on May 2 and "Big Mouth Live at the Greek" featuring Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph, and more Big Mouth cast members at the Greek Theater on May 2, plus many more events!

Additionally, comedian Matt Rife just signed a new deal with Netflix to film at least two new stand-up specials for the streaming service, one of which will be held at this year's Netflix Is a Joke festival. He'll perform as a headliner at the Hollywood Bowl on May 8, marking his first appearance at the event. His Netflix deal also entails a new workplace comedy in which the comedian will write and star.
