Yuks to get bucks


By MANDY STADTMILLER

Tickets for the hottest show at this year's New York Comedy Festival — the “Stand Up for Heroes” benefit Nov. 4 at Town Hall — just went on sale, and the evening will feature an all-star lineup.


This year's host for the event will be NBC newsman Brian Williams, and performers include Stephen Colbert, Lisa Lampanelli, Louis C.K. — and Bruce Springsteen.


“We have an outstanding lineup of talent this year,” said New York Comedy Festival founder Caroline Hirsch, who owns Carolines on Broadway. “Bruce always gives an amazing performance, and we are looking forward to Brian Williams as the host. That being said, the best part about 'Stand Up for Heroes' is that it's all about recognizing and appreciating our service members.”


For the third year in a row, since the event's inception, all living US presidents have officially expressed their support by being on the event's presidential committee, including Barack Obama this year.


Tickets for the benefit, for which The Post is a sponsor, are $100-$500 and can be purchased at nycomedyfestival.com.


Proceeds go to the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which has raised more than $6 million for members of the US military who were injured while serving.
