The event was held to celebrate 50 years of Amnesty International (Evan has been involved with Amnesty for the "Chimes of freedom" project, check it out here if you haven't seen the video yet).
This year's Ball was the first to take place on American soil and arguably the most high profile to date: performed to a crowd of 6,000 in New York, streamed live on US website Epix, and due to be broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK on Friday 9 March, it will also be available here from tomorrow, sadly only for US residents.
I don't know if Evan took the stage, though she probably did, but I think it's worth a watch for all the great comedians and performers, check the source for a more complete list but let me say just this: Coldplay, Kristen Wiig, Jon Stewart.Yes.
