Breast cancer is no laughing matter, but the International Man of Comedy Tom Rhodes along with Beth Donahue, Brian Bates and Shawn Tidwell invite you to get “Tickled Pink” about attending an evening of laughs and entertainment while supporting a worthy cause. This “Tickled Pink” fundraising affair for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Nashville Affiliate will take place on Friday, September 18th at the historic Belcourt Theater.

In a raucous stand up career spanning 25 years and 7 continents, Tom Rhodes has been on HBO, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and filmed two half hour specials for Comedy Central. Tom was also the host of his own late night talk show in Amsterdam for Dutch television. Tom is one of those rare exotic creatures who has dedicated his life to stand-up comedy. Nashville-based comics Beth “Damn” Donahue (CMT’s “Southern Fried Chicks” Tour), Shawn Tidwell and Brian Bates will also perform.

Tickets are $25 and are available now at the Belcourt’s website. The Facebook event is here.
