Let’s face it—talking about colon cancer isn’t exactly cocktail party conversation. But it should be. And sometimes, the best way to get people listening is to serve up the truth with a big side of ridiculousness.
That’s why we’re teaming up for a brand-new video series designed to promote a FREE Colon Cancer Screening event happening March 19th in Chicago—and we’re doing it with humor, heart, and maybe even a muppet or two. (Seriously.)
🎬 Wait… You're Using Comedy to Talk About Colon Screenings?
Yes. And it works.
Colon cancer affects millions of people every year, and early detection is the key to survival. But here’s the problem: people put it off. They’re nervous. Embarrassed. Or just uninformed.
That’s where we come in. We thought, “What if we could make this topic so funny and memorable that people actually paid attention—and shared it?” So we created a few absurd, lovable characters (one of whom may or may not be a talking colon) to do exactly that.
The goal? Get people laughing, then get them screened.
🩺 Colon Cancer Awareness with a Punchline (and a Purpose)
As a comedian, I’ve always believed that humor makes tough topics easier to digest. (See what I did there?) When you’re laughing, you’re open. You listen. You remember.
These videos are silly. They’re strange. They’re packed with jokes.But every single one carries a very real, very serious message:
👉 Early detection saves lives.👉 This screening is free.👉 You might just save someone’s life by sharing a video.
Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is hit "share."
📣 Want to Help? It’s Literally a Click Away
Here’s how you can make a difference right now:✔️ Watch the video(s)✔️ Post it to your feed or story✔️ Tag a friend who needs the push✔️ Use your voice to get this message to someone who needs to hear it
We’re not asking for money. We’re asking for a moment of your time that might result in a lifetime saved.
Get the details at www.BackOffColonCancer.org and let’s get Chicago screened, safe, and smiling.
