Mousetrap Fundraiser for Community Christian School in Alma
Traditional fundraising is being turned on its ear by a veteran Canadian comedy act and a stage full of mousetraps, just in time to cure the winter blues!
For more than 15 years, Dave Lane, Chris Reid and John D. Hollingsworth have been performing across North America as the comedy improv team ‘The Fidgets’.
“It takes a lot to convince a family to leave the comfort of their home and commit to attending anything, especially during the Winter when everything is getting so busy,” explained founder Hollingsworth. “Watching comedians struggle across a stage full of mousetraps, while barefoot and blindfolded does the trick, every time.”
Lane, Reid and Hollingsworth add another unique twist to every show: clean comedy. Dave Lane explains: “We make sure that every show we perform has two elements:
1. It’s “hold your sides” funny.
2. It’s “invite your grandma” clean.
“It’s a deadly combination to beat your Winter Blues,” added Reid. “Clean enough to bring your entire family, so funny that your face will be sore and unique enough to draw big crowds of curious people.”
