Both patients and their families comment for days afterward about how much they enjoyed this truly remarkable program… Listening to comedy does so much to help ease the stress and isolation of hospitalization.

Comedy Fights Cancer is a unique and worthy nonprofit program that brings comedy talent into hospitals to perform for patients and families. We are pleased that our Festival comedians have the opportunity to bring comedy to a community audience that needs it most — patients.
– Craig Minassian, U.S. Comedy Arts Festival Director

We are thrilled Comedy Fights Cancer has teamed up with the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival talent to bring healing and laughter to our patients and our community. Humor and laughter can play such a critical role in healing, so we’re thankful that such great comedy is coming directly to our hospital and our patients.

As a comedian and a cancer survivor, doing hospital performances like this shows patients that they, too, can get through it. I did. But I’ll tell you, I get back so much more than I give.
– Robert Schimmel, Comedian

When I perform night after night on the comedy circuits, sometimes I take the laughter for granted. Thanks to the Comedy Fights Cancer hospital shows, I’m reminded of what the laughter really means. I’ll never take those laughs and smiles for granted ever again.
– Al Ducharme, Comedian
