Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah from The Comedy Green Room dot com
The Comedy Green Room's "Comedy Spotlight" Is Mr. Ron Vaudry
Alan John Park:
Thought out my 39 years on the fringes of The Canadian Comedy Community I have been lucky enough to meet and work with many of today's Canadian Comedy Legends. One such person is Mr. Alan John Park, we met circa 1986 at the famous original Yuk Yuk's in Toronto, ON. Before long, his talents shone through, and he was a touring comic across Canada.
Many more amazing opportunities opened up for Alan Park over his illustrious career. Yet he remained a good friend and a very down to earth gentleman. During covid we were in touch and caught up on each other's lives. I am glad that I reached out to him about a project a few months before he passed away on November 10, 2022. RIP Sir

Kathleen McGee
Kathleen McGee, the Canadian Comic with Colon Cancer
Jenn Hayward is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Kathleen McGee.
I am representing some friends of the amazing Kathleen McGee. She is a headlining comic in Canada. She has made thousands of people laugh and feel good about life with her talent and it's time we help her back.
She was diagnosed with cancer in 2022, has had a large tumor removed and now awaits chemotherapy. She did not want a fundraiser at first, because she assumed she'd qualify for disability, but bureaucracy reigns, and she has to go through this with no funding.
She still would not directly ask for help, but we asked her if we could help her out, and at least start this fundraiser to give her fans, friends and family give her some peace of mind so she can focus on her healing instead of figuring out how to pay the bills.
All money goes directly to Kathleen from GoFundMe, and if she has ever made you smile, giggle, laugh or even cry, consider helping make her life a little easier while she battles with her health~!
I'd go on about how great she is, but she'd be embarrassed, or I'd go on about how the money would help, but we already know that, so let's just give, let her heal and enjoy laughter for another day!!

All Cops Ain’t Bad:
The author, David Reuben, would like to welcome “All Cops Ain’t Bad” to The Comedy Green Room family.
I recently had a zoom chat with Daryll Triplett and Michael Williams two of the great people behind this charitable organization.
Their purpose is to bridge the gap between our cops and the community. We want to show the world that we are “only human”.
They also coordinate and provide support and relief to all current and retired First Responders with an emphasis on “Cops” and “Victims of Police Brutality”.
“All Cop’s Ain’t Bad” bring healing to our communities and their families through comedy, counseling, peer mentoring, individually and in comedy concert settings, filled with lots of laughter and love.
The goal is to raise awareness through community events, media outlets, social media, service organizations and churches, screaming to the top of our voices that… “All Cop’s Ain’t Bad”.

We hit it off and Paul was invited to perform at The HogTown Comedy Festival (TM) in Toronto ON Canada. Paul decided to move to Toronto and performed in comedy clubs and bars throughout Canada and the USA for about 2 years. Paul's clean and funny comedy style was a refreshing change to the Toronto Comedy Community from 2004 to 2006.
