The Jester of All Maladies

Overview

Temple grad and fringe vet Kurt Fitzpatrick was diagnosed with cancer in December 2019. Boo! But he got through it with a bunch of chemo, stimulating immunotherapy, heaps of Facebook love, and a generous supply of Fig Newtons. Join Kurt as he shares his comedically inspirational tale and sobering adventures of getting through…the C-word.

Kurt Fitzpatrick has written, produced, and toured five solo shows in over seventy fringe festivals, as well as “Best Picture,” which was awarded Best of Fest in Winnipeg, Orlando, and Ottawa, and was named Producer’s Pick in London. Kurt also produced and performed in “Bromance,” a two-hander that toured the fringe circuit was later adapted as an indie TV pilot titled “Campus Martius.” He also co-hosts the long running podcast “A Lifetime of Hallmark.”  “The Jester of All Maladies” will be his Philadelphia Fringe debut.
