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 5-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 t
 he Cancer Wellness Center.\n\nThis workshop is open to anyone newly diagnos
 ed\, in treatment\, or post-treatment within 5 years.\n\nProgram dates: Mon
 days\, October 14\, 21\, 28\; November 4\, 11\n\nRSVP below for this in-per
 son program.  Registration ends October 14 at 6:30 pm\n\nAddress: 215 Rev
 ere Drive\, Northbrook\, IL 60062\n\nFacilitated by: Anne Richardson\n\nLea
 rn more about Anne:\n"In late 2022\, I was diagnosed with HER2+ breast canc
 er. 2023 was all about cancer treatment. By late summer\, I decided I had p
 lenty of material to share my experiences\, so I started taking stand-up cl
 asses at Second City.\n\nSince then\, I’ve also taken classes at The Linc
 oln Lodge and performed at class shows and open mics around the city."
