Raised Over $150,000 for Great Causes!
— This event is no longer active, but wow what a ride it was! —
In 6th grade, Colin wrote in an autobiography assignment, “I want to be a comedian.” (He didn’t know about comedic financial speaking when he was 12.) Colin became a paid, professional stand-up comedian in 2009, although a childhood with serious asthma plus divorced parents plus and a pretty intense religious upbringing meant he was writing jokes long before he took his first stage. He has performed in comedy shows around New England, across the country, and at the legendary Comedy Store in California. He’s told jokes in four different countries (twice in rusty, high-school Spanish), and once in a silent-retreat nature center.
From 2012 – 2015, Colin collaborated with the amazing Tom Murphy, owner of Twigg’s Restaurant, to host comedy fundraisers for a large and diverse number of good causes across New England.
Comedy For A Cause has raised over $150,000 for charities, non-profits, and individuals in need…
