Stand Up -- For Kid Sport -- Prince Rupert Comedy night planned for November

Prince Rupert comedian Joey Jack is looking for some funny people, and if you think you can fit the bill, he just might be able to fit you onto the show bill for a fundraiser in November for the KidSport organization.

Mr.  Jack is hosting a Stand Up comedy show at the Seal Cove Neighbourhood Pub on November 23rd, and that gives Prince Rupert's would be stand ups a little less than a month to work out some of their comedy routines to take to the stage.

The host of the comedy night issued the invitation to local stand up fans through a media release on Tuesday.

"If you've ever wanted to be on stage and try out stand-up comedy, here's your chance ... It's for a good cause, which is an even better reason to try."

The proceeds from the night will be directed towards KidSport a province wide initiative to help reduce the cost of participating in sports or youth in communities across British Columbia.

The Prince Rupert Kidsport project is led by Director David Geronazzo who will be part of the event next month along with other KidSport volunteers in the community, they will be hosting a silent auction and 50.50 draw.

For his part, Geronazzo is looking forward to next months show and the chance to share more on the local program with residents of the city.

"100 percent of the funds raised will benefit kids' right here in Prince Rupert, it's going to be a fun show" 

We have made note of the Kidsport program a number of times in recent years, so far 57 kids have benefited from the program in Prince Rupert since it was launched in 2017.

Mr. Jack, who moved to the North Coast in June of 2017 has hosted events such as the comedy night plan in the past in Kamloops and in addition to the night of Stand Up comedy, he will be hosting "The Newly Wed and nearly Dead" game.

That will see three couples tested to see how much they know about each other, a project that perhaps sets the stage for a follow up Comedy night and the introduction of a new audience participation contest that of the Prince Rupert version of the Divorce Game ...

The November 23rd show has a 7 PM start, tickets go on sale November 2nd at the Seal Cove Pub for ten dollars.
