Taking My Lumps

A few years ago, comedian Chris Cafero discovered a tumor in his... private area. It was no laughing matter. Until now!

Written and performed by Cafero, Taking My Lumps combines his skills as a stand-up, story-teller and sketch-performer to find the humor in a recent health scare, and a few other bumps and bruises he’s taken along the way. This marks the solo show debut for Cafero, who was named one of Just For Laughs' New Faces of Comedy in 2023. The show is directed by 3-time Emmy Nominee Stephen Guarino.
