Sometimes, the best way to tackle a serious issue… is with a little humor.
That’s exactly what we’re doing with a new series of videos to raise awareness for something that affects millions of people every year—colon cancer. On March 19th, Chicago is hosting a FREE Colon Cancer Screening event, and we’re using comedy to help get the word out. Because what better way to get people’s attention about screening their behinds than to… well, make them laugh theirs off?
🩺 Colon Cancer Is No Joke—But How We Talk About It Can Be
Colon cancer is one of the most common and preventable cancers out there, and yet thousands of people don’t get screened simply because they’re unaware, uncomfortable, or unsure. That’s where we come in.
We created a series of funny, ridiculous, and slightly absurd videos (yes, there’s a muppet involved… don’t ask) to grab attention, make people laugh, and remind them that screening can literally save lives.
The message? Get checked. Share the video. Help someone else get checked too.
Simple. Powerful. And with just the right amount of ridiculousness.
🎥 Why Comedy Works in Health Campaigns
As a comedian and actor, I’ve always believed that laughter opens the door to hard conversations. You break the tension, lower the defenses, and suddenly it’s easier to talk about… well… colons.
Through these sketches, we’re making people laugh—and making them think. That’s the sweet spot.
✅ It catches people off guard (in a good way)✅ It makes the message stick✅ It makes sharing feel natural—not preachy✅ It reaches people who might otherwise scroll past a health PSA
And honestly, if we can help just one person catch something early, it’s worth every awkward punchline.
🙌 How You Can Help (It’s So Easy!)
Here’s the deal: this FREE Colon Cancer Screening event on March 19th is a big deal—but people need to know it’s happening.
🎯 Here’s how you can help spread the word right now:✔️ Watch the videos (they’re funny, I promise)✔️ Share them with friends and family✔️ Like and comment to boost the reach✔️ Send them to someone who needs a nudge to get screened
Every click, comment, and repost helps us get this lifesaving message in front of more people.

💬 Comedy with a Cause
This isn’t just another sketch series—this is comedy with a purpose. As someone who’s spent a lifetime using humor to connect, inspire, and entertain, I’m proud to use my voice (and my face… and my fake colon muppet) to help make a difference.
Because if comedy can bring people together, it can absolutely help save lives.
