Comedy Night Supports Barren Hill Fire Co.
The Conshohocken- Plymouth-Whitemarsh Rotary club will be hosting a
Comedy Night on Friday, November 18th, at 7:30 pm at the Barren Hill
Fire House, 647 Germantown Pike in Lafayette Hill.
Three area comics will take the stage to entertain.
Steven Bryan is a Virginia transplant now residing in Philadelphia.
Known for his absurd, over the top observations, Steven has the
ability to take a crowd on a roller coaster of unexpected turns and
twists that leaves audiences wanting more. Whether he's pointing out
the obvious or assessing the absurd, Steven's take on life is one
that does not soon go forgotten.
Erin Mulville is a Northeast Philadelphia native that not only
surprises her audiences, she captivates them. Erin is more like one
of the guys; providing commentary that is liberating and insightful.
Erin delivers a brand of comedy that exceeds expectations and
delivers genuine comedy that reaches the Everyman & Everywoman.
Chris Smith, Bridgeport, PA native, will headline the show. Chris
has gone from inner-city educator to headlining comedian. Chris
presents material in a frenetic and deliberate manner; preferring to
deliver a show differently each time he takes the stage. Chris
defies the stigma of "if you've seen him once, you've seen him a
hundred times." Whether he's performing for a comedy club, taking
center stage at a theater, or engaged in one-on-one conversation,
Chris Smith is very much a comic for the people. Club owners have
called his material and stage presence "unconquerable." Chris prefers
to see his material as a way to share a gift that can change a mood,
alter perception, and make a room want more.
Tickets are $25 in advance, and $30 at the door. Advanced tickets can
be purchased by calling 484-238-0168, emailing cpwrotary@gmail.com,
or visiting their website at cpwrotary.com. Proceeds will benefit the

business partners Ilene Steinberg and Michele Barrack, will host an
Alex’s Lemonade Stand on Saturday, May 21st, from 1-4 pm at 454

discounted head checks and products, and a portion of the money
raised that day will benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard
lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004).
In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade
stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with
cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her
name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with
thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of
hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation has raised more than
$40 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding
over 150 research projects nationally.
Lice Lifters’ CEO, Ilene Steinberg is a neighbor of the Scott family.
She saw firsthand how Alex handled her battle with cancer. Ilene and
her family have attended every one of Alex’s Lemonade Stands since
the first stand in Wynnewood and is proud to be a Lemonade Stand
Host. The team at Lice Lifters cares about children and their health.
