Holiday cheer in Appleton

Here’s a good cause to laugh in that lull between Christmas and New Year’s.

The Sears Outlet in Appleton and Heartland Comedy Express are presenting “Comedy Show of Shows” to raise money for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin.

7:30 p.m., Dec. 27, Appleton Holiday Inn, 150 S. Nicolet Road.

Admission is a $10 donation at the door.

In its 30 years, Make-A-Wish Wisconsin has granted the wishes of nearly 5,000 children with life-threatening medical conditions. The organization boasts that nearly 80 cents of every $1 raised goes directly toward wish granting. From its website:

We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us in everything we do. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.

Heartland Comedy Express previously has performed comedy to raise funds for the Honor Flight trips flying military veterans to Washington, D.C.

Scheduled performers include:

  • Alan Gregory
