Comedy Central star Carlos Mencia donates money from upcoming Joplin appearance to tornado relief

Carlos Mencia, star of the Comedy Central show, Mind of Mencia, was already scheduled to perform in Joplin Wednesday, June 8, but after he heard of the devastation that hit this city during the May 22 tornado, Mencia decided to do what he could for the city.

Mencia told the owner at Joey Thumbs Piano Bar, 716 Main, that he would donate the money from his appearance to tornado relief and volunteered to do a second show to help raise more money.

I will post more information on this later.
