ADAM CAROLLA laughs at inoperable brain tumors
with Jimmy Kimmel, Joel McHale, Dr. Drew,
Greg Fitzsimmons, Larry Miller, Dan Gould, Eric
Stromer, and performances by The Dan Band & Bad
Religion.
(HOLLYWOOD, CA): November, 2nd, 2009 –
“I will not leave until everyone who wants a picture gets a picture, and everyone who wants an autograph gets an autograph, and everyone who wants a reach-around gets a reach- around.”
Adam Carolla said, promising the more than 900 fans who have already raised over $100,000 in ticket sales to laugh at his friend and co-worker Bald Bryan’s inoperable tumor.
Laughs For Bald Bryan, hosted by Adam Carolla at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on November 20 is a night of unedited comedy to save Bryan from spending his life paying medical bills. Comedians and
entertainers like Jimmy Kimmel, Joel McHale, Greg Fitzsimmons, Larry Miller, Dana Gould, Eric Stromer, and Dr. Drew will all be roasting Bryan’s tumor, along with a fully loaded line up of live entertainment including The Dan Band (that hysterical band from The Hangover) and rock gods, Bad Religion.
“It’s really heartwarming to see everyone step up, and jump in, and rise to the occasion
– whatever other cliches you want to toss out,” said Adam Carolla to LAist. “A worse thing couldn’t have happened to a better guy.”
Bryan and his wife, Christie, were engaged to be married when their world collapsed in
April 2009 with one diagnosis. His tumor was inoperable, and his doctor told him he had six months to a year to live. Bryan chose to live, and the two had their dream wedding
while bracing for the worst. Now months later, Christie is overwhelmed by the support
and love they’re received from fans who were complete strangers.
“We’re hopeful that this road to recovery leads us to a place where we can offer our
support and love to everyone else, as the amount that we’re received is truly overwhelming” Christie recently gushed on her personal blog, An Inconvenient Tumor.
Brain tumor research is extremely underfunded and the public is unaware that over 450
people a day are diagnosed with one in the U.S. alone. With the survival rate being less
than 30% for males, Adam and his friends are doing everything they can to make sure
Bryan is one of the few living with cancer.
The evening will also include a ‘Loveline’ reunion live
on stage with Adam & Dr. Drew taking questions from the audience, and auction items
like a Family Guy table read, signed Community scripts, and a walk-on role on Gary
UnMarried.
