About this Event
This is an exclusive ticketed event! Tickets include general admission with a signed copy of Merritt's newest memoir This Changes Everything, along with a meet and greet.
A cancer diagnosis caused Tyler Merritt -- viral star and beloved author of I Take My Coffee Black -- to realize that there was no time for anger, unforgiveness, foolishness, or lost friendships. None of us have any time to waste.
From the author of I Take My Coffee Black, a sobering, humorous memoir about learning to let go and embrace the sanctity of life after being diagnosed with Cancer.
When Tyler Merritt was diagnosed with cancer, everything he thought he knew about what mattered in life changed. This Changes Everything is a humorous and optimistic love letter to this beautiful life.
Though he made it through a highly invasive surgery and thought he was in the clear, Tyler soon realized that the cancer had other plans. It wasn’t a question of if the tumor would come back for an encore, his doctors told him. It was a question of when. Laced with Tyler’s trademark humor, love of pop culture, and arguably too many musical theater references, This Changes Everything is a story about how wrestling with the idea of death can birth a whole new outlook on life, how we live it, and the urgency that comes when you grasp that time is a precious commodity.
“A scary, funny, moving and inspiring story from a man who deserves cancer less than almost anyone I know.”—Jimmy Kimmel
“Tyler Merritt is a national treasure, and This Changes Everything is a thoughtful, beautiful and heartwarming tribute to this wonderful thing called life -- as only Tyler can tell it.”—Joy Reid
"Merritt draws out the humor and pathos of his illness with impressive self- awareness... This entertains and inspires."—Publishers weekly
