The Young Adult Council at Gilda's Club Metro Detroit is partnering with Go Comedy! Improv Theater in Ferndale to host a Happy Hour Comedy Night on Friday, June 19. Happy hour begins at 6pm with 50/50 raffle and $1 pizza slices. The Go Comedy! All Star Showdown begins at 8pm and 10pm. Tickets: $20 for one show, $36 for two shows (this is improv comedy so no two shows are alike!), are available by calling (248) 327-0575 or in person at the Go Comedy! box office at 7pm on June 19.

"We're very excited to partner with the actors and staff at Go Comedy," said Heather Hall, executive director of Gilda's Club Metro Detroit and member of the Young Adult Council. "Gilda's Club was established in memory of Gilda Radner, who loved to laugh and make others laugh. She faced her cancer with a positive attitude, laughter and courage. A comedy night is the perfect type of event to raise awareness of Gilda's Club and raise money so our red doors stay open for anyone touched by cancer." All proceeds benefit the Young Adult Council, a network of young adult professionals dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the young adult programs at Gilda's Club, a free non-residential cancer support community for men, women and children affected by cancer.

Gilda's Club Metro Detroit is a nonprofit cancer support community that provides free social and emotional support for men, women and children living with cancer, their families and friends. Its innovative program is an essential complement to medical care, providing networking and support groups, workshops, education and social activities. Named in memory of former Detroiter, Gilda Radner, Gilda's Club Metro Detroit opened in 1998 and has welcomed more then 6,000 people through the red doors.
