Sinbad

The comedy world is uniting to honor one of its own — standup comic and actor Sinbad — during this year’s “Netflix Is a Joke Fest.”

The special tribute will recognize Sinbad’s contributions to comedy and raise money for his medical care as he recovers from a stroke, Netflix said in an announcement.

“The Sinbad Tribute Show” hosted by Doug E. Fresh will take place on Monday, May 6 at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California.

The lineup of performers includes Deon Cole, D.L. Hughley, Byron Allen, Mark Curry, DJ Trauma and more.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Sinbad Special Needs Trust, established to provide financial support for his recovery.
