NORWICH – Representatives from Chenango Memorial Hospital Auxiliary said they are excited to bring a Cocktails and Comedy Night to the Norwich area.

Doors open at 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 28, Chenango Memorial Hospital Auxiliary will host a comedy night fundraiser at Norwich's Colonia Theatre.

The comedy show is hosted by Erica Spera and will feature comedians from The Late Show, Comedy Central, and more! Food will be available from Nina's Restaurant and beer, wine, and soda will be available for purchase. Officials said 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards CMH Auxiliary.

Erica Spera is a New York City comedian originally from Binghamton, NY. Officials said you can find Erica performing all over the big apple; in clubs such as Gotham, Caroline's, The Stand, and New York Comedy Club. Spera was named one of Conan's 2017 TBS Comics to Watch and since then has opened for Patton Oswalt, Bert Kreischer, Judah Friedlander, and many more.

Spera is also the producer of 607 Comedy, where she hosts comedy shows to help fundraise for organizations throughout the upstate NY area. This Saturday night will be her second show in Norwich for the CMH Auxiliary Board, and her 28th fundraiser overall. In the past 5 years, Spera has helped raise over $35,000.
