SUMMARY:Stand-Up Comedy Workshop: There’s Something Funny About Having Ca
 ncer
DESCRIPTION:Everyone responds to having cancer differently. For some of us\
 , humor gets us through the hard stuff and allows us to process our experie
 nce in a way that has helped us not only cope\, but feel better.\n\nWe know
  laughing releases serotonin\, which can help your body heal. That’s just
  science\, people!\nThis workshop is not group therapy\, but if you feel be
 tter about what you’re going through by sharing your experience and laugh
 ing about it\, join us in this 7-week workshop.\n\nDuring the workshop\, we
 ’ll review professional comedians’ sets in which they talk about diffic
 ult topics\, including cancer\, and review joke structure and types of joke
 s. You'll have an opportunity to write and practice your own sets while rec
 eiving feedback from your peers throughout the workshop to help you hone an
 d perfect your set.\n\nFollowing the workshop\, participants will be invite
 d (though not required) to perform their sets at a final event hosted by th
 e Cancer Wellness Center at 28Mile in Highwood on April 7th.\n\nThis worksh
 op is open to anyone newly diagnosed\, in treatment\, or post-treatment wit
 hin 5 years.\n\nProgram dates: Mondays\, February 23\, March 2\, 9\, 16\, 2
 3\, 30\, April 6\n\nFacilitated by: Anne Richardson\n\nLearn more about Ann
 e:\n"In late 2022\, I was diagnosed with HER2+ breast cancer. 2023 was all 
 about cancer treatment. By late summer\, I decided I had plenty of material
  to share my experiences\, so I started taking stand-up classes at Second C
 ity.\n\nSince then\, I’ve also taken classes at The Lincoln Lodge and per
 formed at class shows and open mics around the city."\n\nPlease register be
