HOUGHTON, Michigan (January 4, 2016) – A comedy show fundraiser for Copper Country Humane Society (CCHS) in Houghton is returning for another season. “Raise the Woof” takes place Saturday, Jan. 23, at the Orpheum Theater in Hancock with headlining act Sid Davis. The three-act comedy show begins at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Davis was voted the “Best in Fest Showcase” by audiences at the 2012, 2013 and 2014 San Luis Obispo Comedy Festival in California. The premier festival features comedians from around the world. In 2014, Davis opened for comedy legend Joan Rivers.
Prior to comedy, Davis worked in a variety of fields from radio advertising and insurance sales to airline baggage handling, and he often pulls material from his life experiences to capture audiences. According to reviews, “His style, demeanor, and ability to incorporate real-life events into fits of laughter is amazing.” Others said he evokes, “continual laughter, the kind where your stomach aches, and you have tears flow.”
Raise the Woof is a stand-up comedy tour that works with local animal rescues in the cities it plays. It gives a voice to animals through laughter, spreading awareness and raising money. Raise the Woof guarantees a night of laughs that brings good feelings to everyone.
