“David Spade is one of the funniest, most renowned comedians to ever perform in support of the OHF, and personally one of my all-time favorite entertainers,” said Dr. Martha Hart, founder and director of the Owen Hart Foundation, in a release. “He is not only an outstanding stand-up comedian, but also a writer, producer, actor, and television host with a long list of hilarious films and sitcoms to his credit.

“David Spade is without a doubt a brilliantly talented individual but also a kind and caring philanthropist who supports many worthwhile causes. I, along with my son Oje, daughter Athena, and OHF Committee are thrilled to welcome him to our city where he can share his incredible gift of laughter with us all.”
