About this event

Have you or someone you love been affected by cancer, or other serious illness? Have you or someone you love been disappointed by the ailing American Healthcare system? Have you or someone you love felt dismissed or doubted when seeking medical treatment, left with more questions than answers?

Us too. And we’re sick of it.

Quacks and Whacks: A Cancer Comedy is coming to the NYC Fringe, and you’re invited to join the funds, and the conversation!

Come out to Starr Bar on Friday, March 14th from 6-10PM for an evening of comedy, camaraderie, and support for not one but TWO great causes (more below).

Performance Information:

The Circus of Healthcare and Cancer Come to Absurd Life in Debut of mother/daughter team Amanda and Terry Miller’s “Quacks & Whacks: A Cancer Comedy” at New York City Fringe Festival, April 2025. Amanda Miller is a celebrated RTB trainer for Lab/Shul.

In “Quacks and Whacks: A Cancer Comedy,” absurdist humor, clowning, puppetry, music, and animation spotlight the very real struggles and triumphs of navigating the three-ring circus that is living with advanced stage cancer in America. We join Sharon, a 45-year-old teacher (and the colorful cast of cancer cells singing, dancing & hiking through her body) as she dodges gravel cravings and horny doctors in pursuit of effective screening, humane healthcare, and, really, any kind of answers at all.
