2026 SoCal Comedy Fights Cancer: March 11th

We are thrilled to introduce COMEDY FIGHTS CANCER, a night where laughter fuels hope. Together, we’ll shine a light on the power of early detection while celebrating the courage of cancer warriors and their incredible stories. Most importantly, we’ll show how each of us can make a lasting impact.

This year, we’re honored to feature three comedy legends: Conan O’Brien (virtual welcome), Tig Notaro—comedian, actor, writer, producer, and breast cancer survivor—and Karen Mills, comedian and ovarian cancer survivor. Get ready to laugh, be moved, and be inspired.

Comedy has the power to heal. At Comedy Fights Cancer, every laugh brings us closer to an early detection test and empowers all of us with knowledge and awareness.

Please contact Anna Gibsonagibson@tinaswish.org, or Kelly Cancelmo, kcancelmo@tinaswish.org, if you have any questions about the event, or if you are interested in getting more involved with the Tina’s Wish Southern California Committee.

Grateful to our 2026 Lead Supporters for their Inspirational Gifts
