A Laughing Matter


I did it again!

I can't explain the feeling of doing stand-up comedy.

You're terrified, then you are overjoyed all in one night!  It's like riding a huge roller-coaster!

You can't wait to do it again!

Here is how it happened.

A few months ago, our youth leader mentioned during church announcements that he was trying to bring the cost of going to the Overflow Conference in May down so more kids could go.  I thought, hey, we could do a fundraising comedy night!  I had done one before in October and it was a success, and no one threw fruit at me, so this could work!
Everyone at church was on board with it so we set a date of April 11th.  LIFE 100.3 stepped up to help in a big way by supplying the tickets, posters, door prize and promotions!
I was one of the comedians along with Wil Twnstra, a veteran of the clean comedy scene.  We each did a set along with a musical number and we also did some improv games which were a ton of fun!
We had several door prizes...a book about wrestling, a roll-up-the-rim cup, an empty Toronto Maple Leafs Tim-Card, a bag of apple chocolate chips and our grand prize...two tickets to see Lecrae in Toronto!

Cynthia Rawding won the Lecrae tickets!

The night was a big success with $1675 raised!  More than what was expected!  About 100 people turned out and had a really good time!  


Wil and I make the draw for the door prizes.  We drew the names out of a monkey head!

Wil is a Dutchican.  Half Dutch half Mexican!

LIFE 100.3 provided some great promotion!
