Tickets for the Clinton comedy fest, held in downtown D.C., start at $500. For a cool $1,000 you can get reserved seats. Those contributing $2,700 get “preferred seating.” Contributors who donate or raise $25,000 get to “co-host” a reception with Sen. Franken.

The event starts Friday, September 23, at 5:00 p.m. ET and goes until 7:30 p.m. and will be hosted by Democratic superlobbyist Heather Podesta and filmmaker Stephen Kessler, whose director credits include the 1997 comedy “Vegas Vacation.“
