THEY improv, Broward County's improv troupe, continues their effort at changing the face of comedy in South Florida with their benefit performance for Gilda's Club South Florida on June 28th at the Seminole Paradise Improv in Hollywood, Florida. The show will feature THEY improv with Majic 102.7 FM's Joe Johnson in 90 minutes of comedy that will raise money for Gilda's Club® South Florida while celebrating Gilda's birthday.

"To me Gilda's Club is all about celebrating how she lived," said THEY improv Director Todd Rice. "We use comedy in remembering the anniversary of her birth. I can hardly think of anything more fitting."

Gilda's Club's mission is to provide a place where men, women and children living with cancer and their families and friends join with others to build social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care. Activities and events are free to members and are offered in a non-residential home-like setting. Gilda's Club is a free social and emotional support community named for Gilda Radner. If you would like to learn how you might be able to help this invaluable organization, you can contact them at 954-763-6776 or obtain information at their website, www.gildasclubsouthflorida.org.

The THEY improv 'Comedy With a Cause' program continues to raise money for charities while changing the face of comedy in South Florida. The program has helped local and national charities find funds and attention for their causes while entertaining audiences at some of South Florida's most prestigious venues.

"Gilda's Club remains one of our favorite organizations to work with," said THEY Director Todd Rice. "Not only have I performed many times to benefit their organization, I've taught an improv class there and we regularly donate tickets for them to raise additional funds. They do amazing work right here in our community and we're happy to do whatever we can to help."

Majic 102.7 FM's on air personality Joe Johnson will be joining the performance. This will mark the second collaboration with Joe Johnson and Majic 102.7 FM for the benefit of worthwhile organizations in South Florida. Together, THEY improv and Majic 102.7 are working to make a difference in the lives of people in need in South Florida.
