Comedy on the Cumberland to return July 20th!
June 21, 2010
On Tuesday July 20th, at 7:00pm the Roxy Regional Theatre will host some of the areas funniest comedians who will perform as part of the “Comedy on the Cumberland,” charity event. The proceeds from the event will go to benefit The Clarksville-Montgomery County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Comedy on the Cumberland is the brainchild of Hank Bonecutter, general manager of WJZM 1400 AM radio station, and a comedian.
Proceeds from the July 20th show will go to benefit the Clarksville chapter of the American Red Cross, with proceeds going directly to the local chapter. “The great flood of 2010 not only devastated Clarksville, it also devastated the Red Cross facility on Riverside drive”, said Bonecutter, “While the flood waters have receded, during the flooding the local chapter of the Red Cross put a tremendous amount of their resources into our community, and they are still out there on the front lines helping families in need. So it was a no-brainer for us to do something to help them out, and so our next show is going to be for them”. [Read more]
