Suicide Prevention is Serious Business, Except When It's Hilarious

We suppose that sometimes you've got to laugh, otherwise you'll cry, when it comes to "Laughs for Life," an evening of comedy benefiting San Francsico Suicide Prevention. The SFSP hotline has run 24/7 for the last 44 years, but it don't run itself: we have a dedicated throng of volunteers, fundraisers, donors, and stand-up comedians to thank. The laughs start on April 19, 6:30pm, at Bimbo's 365, and include a light dinner, a DJ, auctions, tributes, and comics Doug Ferrari, Michael Pritchard, and Will Dunrst, none of whom we've ever heard of but then again we haven't laughed since Uncle Miltie passed away. Tickets are $75, and support an infinitely worthy cause: stand-up comedy.
