Stand-Up to Cancer
A benefit show for lymphoma awareness.
🎗️ Laugh Loud. Give Back.
Join us for a night of comedy with a cause—Comedy for Cancer is more than just a show. It’s a tribute. A celebration. A way to turn laughter into love—and support those fighting cancer with everything they’ve got.
💖 Why We’re Doing This
This show is for my mom.
She’s been battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for the past five years, but if you met her, you’d never know it. She’s a music teacher, a light in the lives of everyone she’s taught, and my number one fan—even if she doesn’t always approve of my jokes.
The nurses at her chemo clinic? They always knew when she was coming.
Why? Because she’d be singing as she walked into the waiting room. Loud. Joyful. Unapologetically her.
And everybody loved her for it.
Her strength, positivity, and music-filled spirit are the heart of this event—and we invite you to be part of it.
