Three headliner comedians to perform for 2nd annual charity comedy show benefitting The Women’s First Step House of North County, Saturday, Sept. 9 in Vista. Comedians who have appeared on Dry Bar Comedy Special, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Disney and The Boston Comedy Festival will raise laughs and cheers to support women in recovery from alcoholism on September 9 at the Vista Civic Center. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Charity Comedy Show Featuring: - Joe Sib, as seen on Dry Bar Comedy Special - Andrew Norelli, as seen on David Letterman & Jimmy Kimmel Live - Charlene Mae, as seen on Disney and the Boston Comedy Festival Alcoholism among women is no laughing matter. It is a cultural crisis both nationally and locally: what was previously a 3-1 ratio for risky drinking habits in men versus women is closer to 1-to-1 globally. 2019 U.S. data shows that younger women reported drinking and getting drunk at higher rates than men. Women suffer health consequences of alcohol — liver disease, heart disease and cancer — more quickly than men and even with lower levels of consumption. The Women’s First Step House of North County (WFSHNC) is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides a 10-day non-medical detox from alcohol, for free, to women in need. It’s the first of its kind in North County, offering the basic necessities to their guests (shelter, food, clothing) as they begin their journey in sobriety. The Mission of the WFSNHC is to be a house of hope and offer a new beginning for women suffering from alcoholism. It was founded in 2019 and opened in March 2021. Since their doors opened, they have helped over 240 women. If you or a woman in your life needs help, please visit wfshnc.org to learn more.
