The Jester of All Maladies
I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in December 2019 and went through cancer treatment during the height of COVID-19. After a brief remission, I was diagnosed with a more aggressive lymphoma in December 2020. Today I am in full remission, thanks to chemo, immunotherapy, loads of love, and Fig Newtons. "The Jester of All Maladies" is a one-hour multimedia comedy show in which I tell my story. Played at the 2022 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, 2023 Rogue Festival in Fresno, CA, 2023 Indianapolis Fringe Festival, 2024 Rogue Festival, and playing at the upcoming 2024 Green Bay Fringe Festival.
Playing as part the inaugural Green Bay Fringe Festival at Brown County Democrats Office, 118 S. Chestnut Ave, Green Bay, WI.
Saturday July 20 at 4pm & 8:30p & Sunday July 21 at 1pm. 2024.
Tickets available here.
"A Lifetime of Hallmark," the mostly weekly podcast I do with Les Kurkendaal-Barrett and Jason Bowers has surpassed 36,000 downloads and 200 episodes. We're still going strong, doing our comedic examinations of Lifetime and Hallmark films.
From June 25 - November 2020 comedy sketches I created aired every Thursday night on FringeLiveStream on FacebookLive. The sketches then aired as part of "The Kurt Fitzpatrick Made-It-This-Far Holiday Special" in December of that year.
In 2020 I appeared on the podcasts "A Scotsman Talks to Kurt Fitzpatrick" and the Cancer Care podcast, Cancer Out Loud, in S2 episode 3, "Seize the Day." In 2021 I appeared on the podcast Rank N Review where I discussed crazy 80's movies, like "Critters 2: The Main Course." I have guested on several episodes of "The Shelf Shedding Movie Show!" discussing films by Al Pacino Paul Newman, and Steve McQueen and the 2022 & 2023 Oscar Picks episode.
