A benefit for Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club to support those in our community that are living with cancer. This is our signature event and a night to honor Gilda Radner, original cast member on Saturday Night Live who understood that laughter is the best medicine, and the inspiration behind Gilda’s Club.
Andy Woodhull has appeared on The Late Night Show with James Corden, Conan, Live at Gotham and The Half Hour on Comedy Central. He has also seen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon!
Don’t miss this chance to see him live! Come out to laugh and then dance the night away to local fan favorite, Funktastic Five.
Your ticket includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, cash bar, comedy show and live music. An exciting night to raise funds to support those in our community impacted by cancer with a robust silent auction, wine and whiskey pull and fund a need.
Funds raised at this event stay locally to support the NO COST programs and services provided by Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club.

About Our Performers
Brad Upton
The world is discovering comedian Brad Upton after 36 years in the standup business. Brad was teaching the fourth grade and coaching high school track in Pasco, WA when he first stepped on stage in 1984. He quickly decided that he wanted to do standup instead, so he quit teaching in June of 1986 and never looked back.
He made several cable TV appearances in the early 90’s, headlined comedy clubs from coast to coast, opened for big name music acts and was hired to perform at corporate events. He never sought the brighter lights of LA or New York and chose instead to remain based in Seattle where he and his wife of 35 years raised their now 28-year old son and 26–year old daughter and he could continue his offstage hobby.
Funktastic 5
The Funktastic 5 are a Funk/RnB band from the Quad Cities (IA/IL) area who have been performing and entertaining fans since 2003! The band plays a wide variety of music from rock, pop, jazz, and blues, but centers itself in the R&B/Funk era. Current members William “Whistle” Jones, Bret Dale, Kindred Priest and Tony Carton have performed for countless weddings, corporate events, private parties, bar/restaurant events, and block parties.
We are so grateful for our fabulous sponsors!
