An Evening of Live Comedy in Support of Canadians Living with Blindness

On Thursday, May 11, one of Canada’s longest-standing comedy events returns to Toronto. Comic Vision ‘Cocktail Edition’, hosted by Fighting Blindness Canada, supports advancing vision research, bringing hope to 1.2 million Canadians living with vision loss.
