In 2008, Daniel Stolfi was diagnosed with Acute Non-Hodgkin’s T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, a form of cancer that would require aggressive chemotherapy over the following two years of his life.  Just when his acting career was taking off, he put it all on hold to embark on the most physically, mentally, and emotionally draining journey of his life. While battling Cancer, Daniel lost his Hair, his Appetite, his Strength and his Sex Drive. The most tragic of all, he lost his ability and his desire to dance.  With comedy at its core, this one-man show uses larger than life characters to vividly portray Daniel’s experience. Told mercilessly with a thrill and lust for the finer things in life, Cancer Can’t Dance Like This recalls the pain Dan endured during his treatment while embracing his own saving grace – the fine are of comedy.

Proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Chemotherapy Unit & Pharmacy in Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre, which is currently undergoing significant expansion and renovation. Since being built in 1980, the Chemotherapy Unit & Pharmacy has out-grown its original capacity of 5,000 patients. Today, over 20,000 patients receive treatment at the Odette Cancer Centre every year. This indispensable expansion will shorten wait times, provide deserving privacy and dignity to the patients, and create additional research space for leading edge cancer therapies.
