Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart, Hasan Minhaj and Alex Warren among lineup for Stand Up for Heroes’ 20th anniversary show at Lincoln Center

Stand Up for Heroes, the Bob Woodruff Foundation’s annual live event benefiting veterans and military families, is returning with a 20th anniversary lineup that spans comedy and music. The Hollywood Reporter reported that the show is scheduled for Nov. 9 and will be held at Lincoln Center in New York, bringing together major national entertainers for the milestone edition of the program.

The event’s announced performer list includes Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart, Alex Warren, and Hasan Minhaj. The lineup also features Josh Johnson and The Resilient, according to the report, extending the roster beyond stand-up to include additional acts tied to the show’s mix of comedy and storytelling.

Stand Up for Heroes is presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which has organized the annual gathering for two decades, the report said. It is also presented in partnership with the New York Comedy Festival, positioning the event at the intersection of mainstream entertainment and a charity mission aimed at service members and families.

The Hollywood Reporter’s announcement did not provide additional specifics in the published item about format, duration, ticketing, or which specific segments each performer will take part in. It also did not describe any changes to the event structure tied to the 20th anniversary, beyond the addition of the marquee names to the bill.

As a live gathering at a major cultural venue, the Nov. 9 show is expected to draw a broad audience that includes comedy fans and concertgoers, while keeping the event’s stated purpose directed toward the foundation’s veteran-focused work. The presence of multiple high-profile figures from different media also reflects how the program has maintained mainstream visibility while reaching a charitable audience.

Following the announcement, the next public step will be the release of additional event details related to attendance and programming, which organizers typically provide closer to the date. The Hollywood Reporter report, however, already establishes the key milestone factors that audiences are likely to follow: the Lincoln Center venue, the Nov. 9 timing, and the expanded lineup for the 20th anniversary edition.

With 20 years of prior editions behind it, the Stand Up for Heroes show’s anniversary run functions as a central year-in-calendar moment for both entertainment institutions named in the report. The lineup also indicates a continued emphasis on national-scale performers to sustain public engagement for veteran and military-family support efforts connected to the Bob Woodruff Foundation.
