Aspiring comics who are fighting cancer have found a cathartic space at the Storyectomy class run by Nicole Blaine at the Crow Comedy Club in Santa Monica.
They enter the venue doors hesitantly, first ensuring they’re in the right place, then introducing themselves as students of the storytelling class beginning tonight. The details stay sparse for now. There is time for full introductions over the next three hours of the class. Besides, a few of the eight haven’t even decided if they want to do this cancer show anyway.
“She was actually part of the first Storyectomy class,' Tindale says of his wife, “but then she wasn’t ready to go through with it. And we’d already come up with everything that together she wanted to do. So…” The class giggles both to laugh at his joke and relieve the tension in the room. Along with ongoing classes, a podcast series and a community presence at Making Strides, Blaine envisions Storyectomy chapters across the country, working with the American Cancer Society.
