This week saw a great deal of fund raising for Haiti Earthquake Relief. On Wednesday (as mentioned on this blog earlier this week), The Red Carpet Comedians raised over $400 for the relief efforts. Not only were many of the comedians generous with their time but also with their cash. As a performance, the show was another great success with tons of new material that you’ll be hearing on TV and in comedy clubs very soon. You can read more about it on the Red Carpet Comedy Blog.
The very next night Donovan Deschner was back at Club Paradiso hosting a special event for the same cause. The scope of this project was much larger; including a variety show with eight different acts, raffle items, and live auction. As such, a tremendous amount of cash was raised; over $7,000! This is a stunning feat given that only about 60 people can fit into the club. Thank you to the staff of Club Paradiso (all of whom donated their time for the cause) for putting on such a great event and getting Donovan involved.

This Wednesday night’s Red Carpet Comedy has been scheduled since the end of last year. It will be the third show in the series (which will go on indefinitely). While the performance will go ahead as normal (same time, place, etc.) the proceeds from the show will now be donated to The Red Cross’ Haitian Relief Efforts.
Tickets (as always) are only $10. Those people that don’t want to “text in” their $10 donation can pay for a ticket at the door, 100% of the ticket price will be donated and they’ll receive an evening of entertainment in return.
A media release was sent out last week with all the details, you can download that release by following this link:

There are still tickets available for the show and they can be purchased in advance through CalgaryTickets.com.
