Cancer Can't Dance Like This

"Cancer Can't Dance Like This" is a comedic one-man show that brushes shoulders with death and dances with life. In 2008, Daniel Stolfi was diagnosed with Acute Non-Hodgkin's T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, a form of cancer that would require aggressive chemotherapy 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 to dance. With comedy at its core, this one-man show uses larger than life characters to 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 Dan endured during his treatment while embracing his own saving grace: the fine area of comedy. Proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Chemotherapy Unit & Pharmacy in Sunnybrook's Odette Cancer Centre.
