IL Bacio to welcome comedian Guy Richards with proceeds going to local charity

Comedian Guy Richards is planning a performance at IL Bacio in Delray Beach at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24, and organizers of the event said some monetary proceeds will benefit the Connie J. Goodale Breast Cancer Foundation. Michelle Soudry of The Gab Group said said the cause is the only 501c3 organization in South Florida that provides direct financial assistance to local breast cancer patients to cover the costs of medical bills associated with treating the disease.

Soudry also said that Richards will entertain guests with his “Bipolar Man” Comedy Tour. She said Richards was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2000, and pokes fun at his condition in his comedic act.

The event is open to the public for a cost of $15 per person, or free to guests with an advance dinner registration at IL Bacio, 29 SE Second Ave. Drink specials and a live DJ will highlight the event, and Ketel One Vodka is the sponsor.

For more information call Il Bacio at 561-865-7785.
