The Georgia Straight proudly sponsors The Concert I Never Gave… (Except for like, 2,000 times in my bedroom)

On Friday, August 5, and Saturday, August 6, Eric McCormack brings two nights of music and storytelling to Vancouver's Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage in support of Prostate Cancer Canada.

The Emmy Award-winning star of Will & Grace and Perception, conceived of "The Concert I Never Gave... (except for, like 2000 times in my bedroom)" as a charity event in memory of his parents, who both died of cancer, and performed the concert in Los Angeles and Toronto to sold-out audiences.

The two-hour concerts will feature iconic music from the '70s and '80s by the likes of Elton John, the Who, Billy Joel, Burton Cummings, and Queen, alongside McCormack's tales of growing up in the suburbs as well as insider anecdotes about Will & Grace, becoming friends with Elton John, and meeting Pete Townshend.

McCormack will be backed by a house band that includes musical director and the Who keyboardist Loren Gold, Barenaked Ladies drummer Tyler Stewart, and Great Big Sea bass player Murray Foster.

 Tickets are priced at $95 and $115 and are available for purchase here. 

All proceeds will be donated to Prostate Cancer Canada.
