The big winners of the evening were Shereen Kassam of Orlando and Ben Zieper of Weston, Florida. Each won the laughs and votes of their respective audiences in the 7:00 and 9:00 PM shows taking home $500 each. “The event turned out to be a wonderful celebration of diversity. Shereen Kassam, a young muslim woman and Ben Zieper, a Jewish teenager, both won. It couldn’t have been scripted any better,” said Comic Cure Managing Director, Benjamin Leis. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami also received a $1,000 donation from Comic Cure.
