IAmBethany: Laughing in the Face of Bullying
Bethany Thompson was an 11-year-old cancer survivor who was bullied due to her crooked smile that was caused by life saving surgery. She utimately took her own life. Bethany's story made local and national headlines. Proceeds from this event will go to the Bethany Thompson Memorial Fund. Tickets are $10.00 in advance, $15.00 at the door.
All shows will feature local and regional perfomers and will be headlined by "The Big Deal" Mike Merryfield. In a business where too many performers rely on shtick or the latest political joke du jour to get laughs, Mike Merryfield is refreshingly original. His act never feels fake or forced. By simply being himself, he's become a comic on the verge of stardom. Mike was the WINNER of season 3 Comcast’s Trial By Laughter. He was the runner up in the 2012 37th Annual San Francisco Comedy Competition. One of the original "Lucky 21" at the HBO Comedy Festival Aired on TBS. 2 different one hour comedy specials on SiriusXM. First album "Live at Loonies” was considered for a Grammy Nomination and he has 3 albums on iTunes.
