\"\"On Tuesday April 13, at 7:00 p.m. the Roxy Regional Theatre<\/a> will host some of Nashville\u2019s funniest comedians who will perform as part of \u201cComedy on the Cumberland,\u201d a benefit for Project F.U.E.L. The show is the brainchild of Hank Bonecutter, host of WJZM<\/a>\u2019s The Bone Show, and a local comedian.<\/p>\n

Comedy on the Cumberland will bring awareness to and raise money for a program that feeds hungry children in the Clarksville\/Montgomery County school system<\/a>. \u201cOver twelve hundred school children leave school on Friday, and don\u2019t have a solid meal again until they return to school on Monday\u201d, said Bonecutter, \u201cThis is embarrassing and unacceptable\u201d.<\/p>\n

Project F.U.E.L is the life\u2019s mission of one woman, Denise Skidmore, who was led to this effort by her Christian faith. \u201cI was searching for a purpose in my life, wondering what would be my footprint if I were to die today\u201d said Skidmore. \u201cI want to feed every child I can. I won\u2019t stop until they are all taken care of\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When asked about how he came up with the idea for Comedy on the Cumberland<\/a>, Hank Bonecutter said \u201d I have been working on this idea since last fall,trying to figure out how I could use use the connections I have generated with other comedians to host stand up comedy events in our community. Comedy on the Cumberland is the beginning of what we hope will be a series of comedy benefits in Clarksville,\u201d Bonecutter continued, \u201cThere currently is not any place in Clarksville to enjoy stand up comedy, but that\u2019s about to change!\u201d<\/div>\n

Bonecutter is the owner of Clarksville\u2019s oldest radio station WJZM<\/a> broadcasting at 1400 AM. WJZM<\/a> is Clarksville\u2019s only radio station committed to local News, Sports, and Talk Radio. \u201cFinding ways to help support our community is just a natural fit for WJZM<\/a>, it\u2019s what my career has been focused on,\u201d said Bonecutter.<\/p>\n
