Comics Kick Cancer to the Curb with The ‘C’ Word
The ‘C’ word. Some people cringe when they hear it. Others cover their ears. And there are those who are absolutely horrified by the mere mention of it. Yes, we’re talking about cancer. But on January 19, a Toronto comic and her female cohorts want to make the ‘C’ word stand for something else: Courage. Creativity. And most of all: Comedy.
The ‘C’ Word
StandUp For Your Sisters presents The ‘C’ Word, an evening of stand-up comedy to benefit Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto. The show will take place on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 at Hugh’s Room. A silent auction will be held in conjunction with the show.
Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto
Imagine A PLACE... Where you and your family and friends can gather to explore the journey of cancer in a relaxed, home-like setting. That place is Gilda's Club Greater Toronto. Together, members SHARE their experiences, FEEL the empowerment of social interaction, and REJOICE in the renewed energy that community brings.
We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!
It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed since we made the pyramid formation in our press kit photo and began selling tickets for our first Gilda’s Club fundraiser. It was a gamble, but those of you who came to the January 27, 2009 StandUp For Your Sisters show know how it all turned out. Many of us did our best sets, and it was an incredible night of comedy.
