Benefit Comedy Show for 'Amazing Grace' White January 24

I was recently informed by journalist Rich Freeman that comedienne Grace White had cancer and would I be interested in helping out in any way? YES! Say no more. Word got out quickly within the comedy community so on January 24 there will be a benefit show with all of the proceeds going to help Grace with her medical expenses. In fact a series of shows have already been lined up on her behalf. I don't know how it works in other fields but when one of our own falls ill we tend to rally around to help in any way possible. Since there isn't a Comedians Health Care Plan out there (or much a plan that is useful in this country) it's like a throwback to a time when neighbors assisted neighbors. This is one of those times so along with myself, San Francisco Bay Area comics Johnny Steele, Bob Sarlatte and Chicago comic Rocky LaPorte we'll be donating our time to get people to come out to Fairfield at Pepper Belly's Comedy & Variety Theatre Thursday, January 24 to help out a classy lady beat this thing. General admission for the 7:30 p.m. show are $20 and on sale at Pepper Belly’s, 1250 W. Texas St., Fairfield, or online at pepperbellys.com. For more information, call (707) 422-SHOW.
