n this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Kevin Redding to talk about "Fighting for Laughs," a charity comedy show happening on July 5th, 2025, at the Key West Theater. Kevin shares how the idea for the event came about, the incredible lineup of comedians involved — including Tony Woods, Chuck Nice, "The Reverend" Bob Levy, and Preston Gitlin — and how the show will benefit the veteran nonprofit organization A HERO.
Hosted by local Key West native and veteran Petey Rancel, this one-night-only event is all about giving back to those who have served, while bringing the community together for a night of laughter and support. Kevin also talks about the behind-the-scenes efforts it took to organize the event, the sponsors who stepped up, and why Key West was the perfect place to make it all happen.
