Comedy Night 4 A CURE

Thursday 2nd Apr

Comedy Night 4 A CURE was a wonderful event… and that’s no joke! 😂


Sam took us on a hilarious trip down memory lane—young motherhood, school field trips, parent-teacher conferences, singing sight words… and even the unexpected excitement of missing those “special moments” like speeding tickets from LPD!


Jaya delivered nonstop laughs and life lessons we didn’t know we needed—how not to get hat fished on dating apps, the art of pancake hugs, and how to explain what a bra is when you’re little little! She had the whole room laughing as she dispensed the best kind of medicine. And apparently, if you missed the twerking mad-lib with me… you’ll just have to catch the next show! 😉


Mary Kay closed the night with powerful, real-life comedy—stories about biking mishaps, a flatulent dog, and the daily journey of loving someone with early-onset dementia. She also shared the hard parts… and reminded us that laughter is what helps carry us through. That honesty was something beautiful we all needed. 💜


A huge thank you to our sponsors:

✨ Host Sponsor: Mainstay Senior Living for opening the beautiful 1833 Venue for tonight’s performance

✨ Presenting Sponsor: Scott Lake Health & Rehabilitation for the concession treats

✨ Concierge Home Care for the beautiful beach basket (Matthew will enjoy... if Tiffany doesn’t claim it first! 😄)


And a special thank you to everyone who left their fingerprint on tonight’s “Tacobout A Lovely Comedy Night 4 A CURE” painting—created by my talented daughter, Aubrey Tallent—helping us continue to #PaintPolkPurple together as a community.


Happy Birthday, too, to our two special guests who chose to celebrate with us tonight—Art and Ann-Marie! 🎉


No April Fools here—memories were made, resources were shared, laughter was dispensed, and together we made a difference in our community for the Alzheimer’s Association. 💜

Year 3 - Music, Laughter, and Artwork for a CURE

Sunday 5th Oct

On December 2, 2020 I lost one of the most influential women in my life, My Aunt Darlene; My mother's twin sister. She passed from Corticobasal Syndrome, which is a rare form of Alzheimer's. 

Working in healthcare, it has always been important to me to support research for Alzheimer's however, after losing Aunt Dar, my family and I were on a mission. 

Dar was kind, caring, beautiful, and had the most infectious laugh!  SHE LOVED TO LAUGH ALL DAY! 

She also loved the arts and to hear me sing.  Our 2nd year we added Karaoke & Comedy for the Cause AND an art project, Paint Polk Purple, that highlighted artwork from Memory Care Facilities across Polk County  

This is the 3rd year hosting an event and we are continuing to find new ways to bring awareness, share our message, fundraise and DO WHAT I LOVE TO END ALZ!  

I have been blessed to partner with some amazing likeminded people to help bring several opportunities to Polk County this year.  Events that will blend music, laughter, and artwork with a message that is committed to helping the Alzheimer's Association reach a CURE!
