2011 Canadian Comedy Award winner for Best One-Person Show and the hit of this year's Toronto Fringe Festival!
In 2008, Daniel Stolfi was diagnosed with Acute Non-Hodgkin's T-Lympoblastic Lymphoma, a form of cancer that would require aggressive chemotheraphy over the following two years of his life. Just when his acting career was taking off, he put it all on hold to embark on the most physically, mentally, and emotionally draining journey of his life. While battling Cancer, Daniel lost his hair, his appetite, his strength, and his sex drive. The most tragic of all, he lost his ability and his desire to dance. With comedy at its core, this one-man show uses larger than life characters to vividly portray Daniel's experience. Told mercilessly with a thrill and lust for the finer things in life, Cancer Can't Dance Like This recalls the pain Daniel endured during his treatment while embracing his own saving grace - the fine art of comedy. November 10-13 only.
"Daniel Stolfi gives a powerhouse performance in this highly entertaining, classy, and powerful example of turning a negative into a huge positive. Very funny and highly recommended."
- Daniel Shehori, Second City
