Here is a seriously amazing question. Can one man do stand up for <strong>24 hours straight<\/strong>? Well, <strong>Pat Thornton<\/strong> is in the midst of answering that question at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecomedybar.ca\/\">The Comedy Bar<\/a>. He is doing <strong>Stand Up for 24 hours<\/strong>. Straight. Here is the information that you need from Pat Thornton:<br \/>\u201cI was approached by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stephenlewisfoundation.org\/\">Stephen Lewis Foundation<\/a>, a wonderful charity that helps in the fight against AIDS in Africa to participate in their <strong>A Dare To Remember<\/strong> challenge. Basically people are sponsored to do dares. So I decided to do something pretty crazy. From <strong>Monday November 2nd at 6pm to Tuesday November 3rd <\/strong>at <strong>6pm<\/strong> I will be at <strong>Comedy Bar<\/strong> performing <strong>24 hours of stand-up<\/strong>. (I will start with all the material I have, but I will also be assisted by a team of writers)<br \/>For <em>5 dollars<\/em> you can purchase a wristband that will allow you to come and go as you please over the 24 hours. All the money of course goes to the <strong>Stephen Lewis Foundation<\/strong>. If you can&#8217;t make it out, you will be able to watch the set online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ustream.tv\/channel\/the-pat-thornton-show\">RIGHT HERE <\/a>(and you can talk to others as they watch it too!) and you can follow it on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/\">Twitter <\/a>@patthornton- you can also twitter Pat Thornton jokes (&#8220;I&#8217;ll need &#8217;em&#8221;, he says)<br \/>BUT the most important thing is this, you can make donations to his personal dare page <a href=\"https:\/\/stephenlewisfoundation.akaraisin.com\/pledge\/Participant\/Home.aspx?seid=2660&amp;mid=25&amp;pid=185519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/stephenlewisfoundation.akaraisin.com\/pledge\/Participant\/Home.aspx?seid=2660&amp;mid=25&amp;pid=185519<\/a>\u201d<br \/>24 Hours. All Stand Up. Pat Thornton. $5.00. Comedy Bar. 945 Bloor Street West. Live Stream you can watch at home. Donations to charity. Helping to fight AIDS in Africa. Kapow.<br \/>There is no reason to miss this. It\u2019s sure to be a hella good time. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>pat thornton Okay, everybody.
