Here's what the critics and audiences have to day about
This is CANCER?
THIS IS GREAT THEATRE
"Let’s face it, the idea of spending time in a small, dark room with cancer doesn’t sound super appealing—particularly for folks who may have already done so in their lives. But if you’re humming and hawing about whether or not to go see This Is Cancer? I’m here to tell you something: just go... I had no idea watching a grown man singing and dancing in a shiny yellow unitard could be such a touching, emotional and life-affirming experience."

One can't help but be moved...
Scared of cancer? Check it out. Not scared of cancer? Check it out anyway."

This was the most outstanding, wonderful, and healing performance I have ever been to. I laughed and I cried...everyone should see this powerful and moving piece of theatre!
– Audience member
It's an odd show to 'review' because I so desperately hope it's not ruined for everyone reading this because I enjoyed the surprise so much. Excellent performances and FRESH writing. Everyone has somehow, through someone, been touched Cancer- (myself included- and not just on the knee in the dark...) I'll definitely be back!

Having lost our son to cancer four years ago, my husband and I were taken aback and initially very uncomfortable when the show began. We very soon were pulled in by this character which Bruce created. We laughed and cried. I have never experienced anything quite like it. Great performance!

In this one-man, satirical cabaret, writer/performer Bruce Horak brings Cancer to life.
CANCER, a deluded egotistical ASS, goes on his own journey of denial, anger, bargaining and acceptance when he discovers that the whole world hates him. Clown, Improv, Stand-up, Confessional, Solo Performance accompanied by a 3-piece rock band!
A cancer survivor himself, and one of Canada’s only legally blind professional actors, Bruce brings a fresh and funny perspective to the disease that too many of us will face and that so many of us could use a good laugh at.
