Brian had stage four squamous cell carcinoma and has been cancer free since May of 2012.

Cdub

Has been doing stand-up comedy for two years & is often funny. His Stage 3B prostate cancer is in remission.

Bob Johnson

Bob has been doing stand-up for a little over a year and 22 months into his colon and liver cancer journey. Three months ago, he was declared cancer free! His liver is shot so he’s looking for a good used one with low miles.

Rob Bagley

Rob has been doing stand-up for six years and is a three-time cancer survivor who finds humor in his treatments and everyday life. His comedy is clean with a little fun innuendo.

Dany Redwine

Dany performed comedy for the first time in 2014- one year after being diagnosed with ductal carcinoma. Her comedy is edgy and honest about her experience with cancer and living life on her own.

Adam Degi

Adam is quickly becoming one of the most sought after twice cancer surviving, bald white comedians in the world. The only thing that can stop him is getting cancer again- which has happened for the third time! He’s on his way to another victory the only way he knows how- by saying things he shouldn’t in front of strangers.
