Laughter is the best medicine:

Vashon, Seattle & Tacoma residents are encouraged to spend a night together laughing for a cause that is no laughing matter: Domestic Violence.  The DoVE Project, Vashon’s only on-island domestic violence organization will host a Comedy night at the O Space, the doors open at 6:00 PM on Saturday October 25, 2014.

Our headliner this year is Peggy Platt; she opened for Cyndy Lauper and Jerry Seinfeld.  The hosts of the event will be Tami Brockway Joyce and Jennifer Sutherland, a.k.a. the Washington State Ferries for our event they will transform into the Filson Sisters.  Additional acts include Duo Finelli, Chip and Margie, three comedians from Seattle Sean Ricco, Erin Ingle & Evan Morrison.

This is a fundraiser for The DoVE Project, as we all know domestic violence issues has been in the media for the past few months. Domestic Violence affects women and men from all walks of life, and with the isolation of Island living often those in need feel physically and psychologically isolated from support.  The DoVE Project fills this important role on Vashon Island.

Our event hopes to unite the community with a fun evening to raise awareness about this issue.  All proceeds from the event benefit The DoVE Project’s advocacy efforts for domestic violence survivors and community outreach and education efforts to prevent and raise awareness of this cause.

Tickets are $35 and available at BrownPaperTickets.com, at the Vashon Bookshop and also at the door.  This event is for adults only and there will be a no-host bar.  Herban Feast will provide light appetizers.
