She is relatable to every audience member-male & female. After seeing Tammy perform\, nearly everyone wishes she was their best friend or sister!  “Tammy Pescatelli’s: Way After School Special” is the highly anticipated follow up to Tammy’s award winning special\, “Finding the Funny.” You can find both of these specials on Amazon Prime. The albums of the same name were released and were in the TOP 3 spots on iTunes!  \n\n\n\nTammy’s career jump started after appearing – and being one of the Final 5 – on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Her season played out to more than 18 million viewers\, garnering her a legion of loyal new fans.  It solidified her as one of the sharpest comics in the comedy world.   With a slew of other accolades under her  belt – including co- creating\, executive  producing\, writing and starring in her own reality show\, A Stand-Up Mother\, on the  We TV Network – Tammy has appeared on  a number of television shows like The View\, Jay Leno’s Garage\, The Howard Stern Show\, The  Tonight Show with Jay Leno (4x)\, and\, her own Comedy Central Presents Special that won that year’s Comedy Central’s Standup Showdown.   Tammy is currently a regular on the “Sherri” syndicated talk show. She has appeared on the highly acclaimed Showtime Comedy Special\, “Women Of A Certain Age 2”. She had a guest star role on “Blue Bloods” and was also chosen to be one of the few hosts of a new network\, Circle TV’s standup show called “Standup Nashville: Live From Zanies”. She can also be seen in the film “Nonna’s”\, staring Vince Vaugh and Susan Sarandon\, which debuted in Netflix’s Top 10. This fall\, Tammy will be filming a new one-hour comedy special set for release in 2026.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrad Upton\n\n\n\nThe world is discovering comedian Brad Upton after 36 years in the standup business!  \n\n\n\nBrad’s storytelling is peppered with anecdotes from his early days in comedy\, where a 200-mile drive to the nearest open mic night in Seattle was just the beginning of his comedic odyssey. The thrill of his first successful set is a testament to the power of taking risks and the euphoria of finding one’s calling after teaching fourth grad and coaching high school track.  \n\n\n\nBut it’s not just the laughter that makes Brad’s story compelling. His reflections on life’s more serious moments\, such as his wife’s battle with cancer and his own heart attack\, reveal the depth of character behind the humor. These experiences have not only influenced his comedy but also reshaped his outlook on life\, making him appreciate every moment on and off the stage. \n\n\n\nIn Brad’s latest comedy special\, “I’m Not Done Yet\,” it’s clear that his passion for making people laugh is as strong as ever. Whether reminiscing about throwing dodgeballs at fourth graders or marveling at the beauty of walled cities like Dubrovnik\, Brad’s zest for life shines through.  \n\n\n\nSo how does someone catch fire in his 32nd year? The internet. Facebook\, Instagram and TikTok have suddenly led millions of people to Brad’s comedy and they have discovered a comedian that has mastered the nearly impossible task of appealing to people from the ages of 18 to 80. No one has been more surprised than Brad; he has been very humbled by the newfound fame at this point in his career and is currently working feverishly all over the country to take advantage of his moment in the sun. After a rather significant health scare and diagnosis in the early summer of ‘22\, Brad is grateful for this late career validation and everyone of you that read this far.  \n\n\n\nComedy is a craft that often takes a lifetime to perfect\, and few know this better than the seasoned stand-up comedian Brad Upton.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor a full list of sponsors\, please visit gildasclubgr.org/reddoor URL:https://www.laughfestgr.org/event/gildas-club-red-door-gala/ LOCATION:Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park\, 1000 E.

She’s a Second City alum and blends storytelling with observational humor\, tackling everything from surviving breast cancer and navigating an international marriage to the quirks of middle age.

They have had cancer. Some of these comedians are cancer free and some still continue to navigate their cancer journey. These comedians share their stories but with a twist. \n\n\n\nBrian B.   \n\n\n\nBrian is the creator & MC of the weekly stand-up comedy show The Sunday Night Funnies. Now in its sixteenth year\, close to 1\,300 different comedians have performed at it over the years. The Funnies have been a part of LaughFest from the start and have raised over $28\,500 for Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids. Brian had stage four squamous cell carcinoma and has been cancer free since May of 2012.   \n\n\n\nBen Bradshaw  \n\n\n\nBen Bradshaw is a young comic who has “shared custody” between the Grand Rapids and Traverse City pockets of the greater Michigan comedy scene. Aside from poking fun at being a valet attendant in his late twenties\, Ben also sheds an original\, funny light on his experience beating Stage 3 Testicular Cancer. Ben has been featured on the Traverse City Comedy Festival and LaughFest. He has performed at the Traverse City Comedy Club\, Dr. Grins\, and has hosted for Harry Settel. Ben also co-hosts USS Comedy\, the weekly open mic in Traverse City. Come see Ben live! And if you don’t\, he’ll pull the cancer card on you.  \n\n\n\nCdub  \n\n\n\nCdub “C” is on the older side. There is no time that is not past his bed time. He’s a cancer survivor who enjoys candlelight dinners\, walks on the beach\, and most of all\, spending his days above ground.  He has hosted at Second City in Chicago and performed at The Laugh Factory\, One Night Stan’s and Mark Ridleys Comedy Castle.    \n\n\n\nRob Bagley   \n\n\n\nRob has been doing Stand-Up for over 6 years. He is a 3-time Cancer Survivor. If he gets cancer for a 4th time we all get free Subway\, Fingers Crossed. Rob finds humor in his cancer treatments and his everyday life. His Make-A- Wish was to meet Sandra Bullock but changed his mind and his wish is to see you at the show. He loves meeting people at the show especially if your blood type is O\, just in case. Rob’s dream is to make it on TV\, obviously to be in an infomercial about how chemotherapy makes you look more handsome.    \n\n\n\nKim Cook   \n\n\n\nMaking her first appearance in the Cancer Survivor Showcase\, Kim is a quick-witted Southerner and a Second City alum. A recent breast cancer survivor\, Kim brings humor and resilience to the stage\, sharing her journey with warmth and a lighthearted perspective. She has an honest\, down-to-earth style\, finding laughter in the everyday and the extraordinary.   \n\n\n\nAdam Degi   \n\n\n\nAdam is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after two-time cancer-surviving\, bald\, white comedians with a Hungarian last name in the world. You can add fatherhood\, well-crafted jokes\, and improvisation to his repertoire. He’s been a guest on most of the comedy-based podcasts you’ve never heard of\, and he has a real knack for making your dad laugh. By the time you read this\, he’ll have a few more followers on TikTok and a few less on Instagram. The only thing that can stop him is getting cancer a third time. What if I told you it happened…AGAIN. He’s on his way to another victory\, the only way he knows how: saying things he shouldn’t in front of strangers  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenting Sponsor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderwriting Sponsor\n\n\n\nStudio C URL:https://www.laughfestgr.org/event/cancer-survivors-showcase/ LOCATION:Midtown\, 123 Ionia Ave.\, SW\, Grand Rapids\, MI\, 49503\, United States CATEGORIES:Laughter Rx,Local Laughter,Showcase,Stand Up ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.laughfestgr.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/LF-HEADERS-7.png GEO:42.960501203672;-85.670501489631 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Midtown 123 Ionia Ave. SW Grand Rapids MI 49503 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=123 Ionia Ave.\, SW:geo:-85.670501489631,42.960501203672 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250305T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250305T180000 DTSTAMP:20250212T175834Z CREATED:20250122T050000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250212T175834Z UID:10000110-1741197600-1741197600@www.laughfestgr.org SUMMARY:LaughFest: Night at the Museum DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\n\n\nGrand Rapids Public Museum \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice:\n\n\n\nGeneral Admission: $25 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContent Guidance Rating:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLN- Clean Adult Laughs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComedians Adam Degi & Bob Smiley bring some seriously funny stuff to Laughfest Night at the Museum.
