Mad Cowford Improv Presents Comedy for Critters
Jacksonville’s Improv Troupe Hosts Comedy Show to Benefit ASPCA

Mad Cowford Improv, Jacksonville’s only live improvisational comedy troupe will host a comedy show to benefit the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) on Friday, April 4 at 8 p.m. The comedy show will take place at 9th and Main Restaurant, Theater and Lounge and is open to the public. This event is being sponsored by Allstate Credit Division.

The comedy show takes place to bring awareness to ASPCA Day on April 10th which is the animal rescue organization’s 142nd anniversary. Performers will wear orange to promote awareness of animal rescue, and audience members are also encouraged to wear orange. There is a suggested donation of $10.00 for tickets. 100% of proceeds benefit the ASPCA and Allstate Credit Division will match all donations with an additional 15%. Reservations may be made by calling Bill Welch at [phone].

Mad Cowford Improv organized the comedy event in recognition of the ASPCA’s contributions to the First Coast. Last year the ASPCA provided a $10,000 emergency grant to the Jacksonville Humane Society after a tragic fire consumed one of the buildings that had housed over 150 dogs and cats. The ASPCA continues to lessen the injustices animals face and battle animal cruelty, whether it’s saving a pet that has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country. The organization also provides training to police officers so they can recognize animal cruelty and take appropriate action.

“Many of the Mad Cowford players have rescued pets, so the ASPCA is an organization we believe in,” says cast director John Kalinowski. “It’s the APSCA’s 142nd birthday, which of course is 994 in dog years. Go Orange!”
