Join us for the first annual Breast Cancer Is Boring Comedy Showcase starring Helen Park! We’re talking breaking into comedy over Zoom, turning unfunny cancer into hilarious boob coasters and our endless love for Tig Notaro.

Seriously, who doesn’t love Tig Notaro: https://youtu.be/WwFiFJn-v5w?t=176
Healthcare workers say the darnedest things, right? A casual comment with no ill intent can be incredibly triggering; so what do you say? Joselyn and Lauren talk it through.
You think religious vampire zealots are scary, wait until you get a load of where your breast cancer charity donations are going. It’s downright terrifying!

Rebecca Handler is the author of Edie Richter is Not Alone (perhaps you’ve heard of it; it’s kind of a big deal) and she’s joining us to talk about death humor, why “journey” is such a triggering word and horror dolls made with 100% human hair. Oh yeah, and also breast cancer.
Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) gets very little attention and even less funding. Special guest Emily Powell is here to talk about MBC, TikTok, Canadian healthcare and whether hedgehogs are pokey. Join us!
