Rally for Rex: A Comedy-Themed Event for a Cause

Comedy and charity events may seem like an unlikely pair, but more and more, we’re seeing the two being put together for a worthwhile cause. One of these events is Rally for Rex, which combines comedy, music, and community support to raise funds for medical expenses.

Rally for Rex is named after comedian Reed Mullin, also known as Rex. Mullin was the drummer for the metal band Corrosion of Conformity and was well-known in the comedy scene for his hilarious antics. Unfortunately, Mullin passed away in 2020, leaving behind a legacy of great music and even greater laughs.

Before his passing, Mullin had been battling health issues that left him with a pile of medical bills. That’s where Rally for Rex comes in – the event was created to help pay for these expenses while also celebrating Mullin’s life and humor. The first Rally for Rex was held in 2019 and featured performances by bands and comedians from all around the area.

The comedy portion of the event is always a hit, with plenty of local and national comedians stopping by to make the crowd laugh. And because it’s for a good cause, the jokes often take on a slightly different tone than the usual stand-up act. There’s a sense of camaraderie and support between the performers, who all come together to support a fellow comedian and musician.

Of course, the musical aspect of Rally for Rex can’t be overlooked – after all, it’s what Mullin was best known for. In addition to the comedic acts, there are usually several musical sets featuring bands that Mullin worked with or admired. It’s a tribute to the man himself and a celebration of metal and punk music, two genres that Mullin helped shape throughout his career.

But aside from the entertainment, Rally for Rex is ultimately about raising money for a worthy cause. The event is always free, but attendees are encouraged to make donations throughout the course of the night. All money raised goes directly to Mullin’s medical fund, ensuring that his family won’t be burdened with exorbitant hospital bills.

Comedy and charity may seem like an unlikely pair, but Rally for Rex shows us that they can work together beautifully. By gathering together to laugh and celebrate, we’re able to make a positive impact on someone’s life – even if that person isn’t with us anymore. It’s a testament to the power of laughter and community support, and it’s something we could all use a little more of in our lives.
