It’s here! This year’s “Running on Empty” marathon benefit is bigger than EVER! From 7 PM on Friday, March 23 until the closing bell at 7 PM on Saturday, March 24, your Funners and more than 16 professional and college comedy groups from around Boston and Massachusetts will take the BU Central stage for 24 hours of non-stop funny, all to raise money for the Greater Boston Food Bank!

All your favorites are back for this seventh-annual LF marathon: Uncensored Hour! Ammunition Hour! Alumni Hour! Newbie Hour! Skirtprov! More delirious incoherence and whimsy than you can shake a Red Bull at. (PLEASE BRING RED BULL.)

PLUS, new this year:  PRIZES! Buy a $3 punchcard (good for 24-hour access) to rack up audience points — the more hours you log at the marathon, the better the loot! (And the more vivid your waking dreams!) While supplies last, obviously — it’s a benefit, y’all.
