Testimonials
“Tara Brown! As the Executive Director for Shades of Pink Foundation, I can say that once my ribs stop hurting from laughing, SHE IS THE REAL DEAL! Funny, VERY funny, works the room, knows her audience, and is just a truly fun, caring human being! She embraces the room, she embraces the cause and just from the minute she opens her show till the last second, she has the audience laughing, she makes it personal by knowing her room and working her room. We have hosted a comedy act for 3 years and it is not even close, the best of the best hands down, plus career-wise, I have held numerous CEO roles in major companies and never heard a better comedy act!” - Kevin Browett Executive Director Shades of Pink Foundation
“Tara Brown has twice performed as the headlining comedian for our annual fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, “LOL4CFF”. In 2022, Tara closed out the show in incredible fashion when the event was still a fledgling passion fundraiser. In 2024, we upped the ante on the night making it a signature event for the year, and when we were to decide on a headliner it was an absolute no-brainer to bring Tara back. Tara was punctual, communicative, and most importantly, hilarious! Performing at a charity event where emotions range from overwhelming joy to somber realization of the disease we are raising money to fight against, can be a difficult task, but Tara knocked it out of the park! On behalf of the entire event committee, I would like to thank Tara for her passion, performance, and commitment that helped make this years event our best yet, raising in excess of $100,000 to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. We look forward to working with her again!” - Chris Diorio, Event Chairman, LOL4CFF
