During the weekend, Toronto was treated to one of its most fun and funniest evenings of the year, as Chris Rock performed at Laughter Is The Best Medicine II — a comedy gala that raised $2.5 million in support of Toronto East General Hospital (TEGH.) With Will Arnett as Master of Ceremonies, over 1400 guests celebrated the completion of the hospital’s $60-million private sector capital campaign at the sold-out affair, held at the Allstream Centre. Chris Rock — the multi-Emmy and Grammy award winner, critically acclaimed as one of the world’s best comedians — had the crowd in stitches for more than an hour, with all-new material, prepared especially for TEGH’s guests. The occasion marked the first time Rock had ever performed for a private event. “It’s a great cause. The hospital does a lot of amazing work. And I just wanted to be with the right people; and this just seemed like the right time,” said Rock about why he chose to perform at the TEGH event.
