AJ Wilkerson Hosts 5th Annual Christmas Toy Drive and Comedy Show for Levy County Families in Need

Stand-up comedian AJ Wilkerson, a Bronson native, is gearing up for his 5th Annual Christmas Toy Drive and Comedy Show to support children in Levy County who may not otherwise receive gifts this holiday season. The event is scheduled for November 21, 2025, and will take place at AMVETS Post 444 in Williston, Florida.

Entry to the show is simple and meaningful: guests are asked to bring one new, unwrapped toy per person, suitable for children of any age. This toy acts as the ticket, and every donation goes directly toward brightening a child’s Christmas through the toy drive. The venue is located at 13751 NE 52nd Place, Williston, FL 32696, making it easily accessible for families and supporters across the area.

Over the past four years, Wilkerson’s toy drive has helped provide gifts for more than 500 local kids, thanks to generous community participation. Families in need are nominated anonymously, ensuring privacy and dignity, and parents later have the chance to visit a curated “Santa’s Workshop” filled with donated toys. This setup allows them to personally select Christmas gifts tailored to their children.

The evening begins with dinner at 5:30 p.m., giving attendees a chance to settle in and enjoy a warm meal before the festivities. The comedy show starts at 7:00 p.m., offering a full night of laughter led by Wilkerson himself. The show is adults only, maintaining the same format attendees may remember from previous years.

Wilkerson has become a familiar and beloved figure in the comedy world, both locally and nationally. He has toured across the United States, earned a growing fan base, and even appeared in Clerks III, which you can view on the film’s page at
IMDB. His comedic style blends personal storytelling, Florida life, and his own experiences as an Army veteran and an adult diagnosed with autism, often performing under the persona “Captain Autism.”

For those interested in catching more of his shows beyond this event, you can find updates on tour dates and appearances on his official profile at
Bandsintown. His work continues to reflect a mix of offbeat humor and heartfelt community involvement, making events like this toy drive feel both entertaining and impactful.

This annual toy drive has become a meaningful tradition in Levy County, with each year expanding in reach and community engagement. In previous editions, the event has even included additional family-friendly features such as breakfast gatherings and festive activities, as noted by local outlets like 352 Today. While the 2025 event sticks to the straightforward dinner-and-comedy format, the focus remains on collecting as many toys as possible for local kids.

Community members who want to contribute beyond attending can consider donating extra toys or reaching out to AMVETS Post 444 for volunteer opportunities. Wilkerson’s ongoing commitment to the children of Levy County shows how a simple idea—mixing comedy with giving—can grow into a powerful local tradition.

With clear event details, an easy entry requirement, and a mission rooted in helping families, this year’s toy drive and comedy show is shaping up to be another meaningful and spirited gathering for the community.
