Of Nerve.

The show has wrapped — thank you.
Every ticket helps fund $500 no-strings grants for people with metastatic breast cancer.
What's the deal
Cancer took a lot. It doesn't get to take the punchline.
Cancer Is A Joke is a stand-up night built by and for the cancer community — survivors, thrivers, caregivers, and the people who show up for them.
Let’s be honest: treatment is exhausting and expensive. Every dollar raised goes straight into the Cancer Giving Fund — cash, directly to people with metastatic breast cancer, with no receipts required.
Last year's show at Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth Theatre
