What happens when a gastroenterologist and a comedian walk into a hospital?They walk out with a video campaign that might just save your life.

Dr. Andrew Albert, a nationally recognized Chicago physician, and Brett Walkow, a veteran comedian and filmmaker, have teamed up for a one-of-a-kind awareness campaign to fight colon cancer—with ridiculous humor, absurd characters, and real impact.

This is not your average PSA.It’s colon cancer prevention, reimagined through comedy.

🎬 The Campaign You Didn’t Know You Needed

Colon cancer is serious.But that doesn’t mean the way we talk about it has to be.

So Brett and Dr. Albert created a campaign that blends real medical urgency with full-blown sketch comedy. Talking colons. Weird mascots. Over-the-top characters. And somewhere in between all the jokes? A message that sticks.

Why?

Because people remember what makes them laugh.And if it gets them screened, it saves lives.

💡 The Power of Comedy for Public Health

Brett Walkow has spent his career using comedy to connect, uplift, and entertain—on stage, on screen, and now, in hospitals and healthcare campaigns. His ability to bring humor to heavy topics helps people listen without shutting down.

Dr. Andrew Albert brings the facts and the fire—relentlessly pushing for early detection and access to care. Together, they’ve created content that isn’t just funny—it’s life-changing.

📣 Watch. Laugh. Share. Save a Life.

This campaign isn’t about shock value or going viral.It’s about reaching people who need a nudge to take their health seriously.
