Sudburians who need a good laugh might enjoy a comedy show coming to the city in the second week of November.
A group of well-known Italian-American comedians will be performing at the Caruso Club in the “Wassa Matta Fa You” show, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer.
The group is part of the WTF (Way Too Funny) Comedy Tour with their unique brand of comedy based on and story-telling based on everyday life growing up in an Italian family, said a news release from tour promoter Derek Young.
“It’s finally time for some good, old-fashioned belly laughs. For many years, these Italian-American comedians have been making people laugh by sharing memories through their unique brand of comedy," Young said.
He said the special evening will be held Thursday, Nov. 10 at the Caruso Club with a delicious Italian meal and a stellar lineup of comedians, all in support of the Northern Ontario families.
"WTF Comedy Tour is excited to partner with Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer to help raise funds for a very important organization that supports hundreds of families across Northern Ontario," Young said.
He added that the COVID pandemic has impacted many charitable causes but this is one way to give back and connect with live entertainment.
Young said the featured comedians are; Tara Cannistraci, who was born and raised in the Bronx, NY.
She uses her New York upbringing as the foundation for her take on observational comedy. There is also Franco Taddeo, whose ability to channel the outsider in all of us has made him a club, festival, corporate, fundraising gala and radio favourite.
N’Riko Rennalla, is a talented comedian from Italy. His style is unique, effervescent and down-right hilarious; and Giuseppe The MC is an Italo-Canadese Comedian and online sensation who has headlined shows in Canada, Australia, Europe and the United States, Young said.
