A show that cancer patients and survivors say “takes the words right out of their mouths” (Montreal Gazette), Cancer Can’t Dance Like This is the must-see piece by comedian Daniel Stolfi, who uses his experience as a cancer patient to create a hilarious stage show. Each monologue describes something he has lost, from his hair to his sex drive, and as actor Carlos Diaz says, “anyone who can imitate a doctor saying, ‘you have lymphoma’ and get a laugh is fucking top in my books!”

The contrast between the pain and struggle of Stolfi’s journey, and his energy and power on stage, make this a show that will stay with you long after it’s over. Song, dance and comedy take on the harsh reality of Stolfi’s diagnosis, and he invites you into his experiences with wit and warmth.

Cancer Can’t Dance Like This runs from Oct. 4-8 in Parkdale at the Pia Bouman Theatre, 6 Noble St. at Queen and Dufferin. Buy your tickets now!
