Brooks International presents Marla Lukofsky. http://www.brooksinternational.com . The Toronto Sun called her "the reigning queen of comedy in Canada." The Globe and Mail called her "suave and stylish". For the last thirty years, Marla Lukofsky has performed in every major city in Canada and the United States. As well, she represented Canada in the International Comedy Festival in Glasgow, Scotland and England. As a writer and columnist, Marla's credits include CBC radio with such shows as Dayshift with Erika Ritter, Basic Black with Arthur Black and The Vicki Gabereau Show. In July of 1998, Marla was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes. She had a lumpectomy and lymph node removal, which was followed by an aggressive course of chemotherapy and daily radiation treatments. Marla completed her treatments in January of 1999. Since then, she has written a memoir and a collection of short stories and poems describing her experiences. In them, she talks proudly about her life with cancer with honesty, frankness, and humor. Marla is currently doing inspirational speaking engagements across the country, entertaining and informing people of her personal cancer journey in hopes that it may help others. "If I can touch even one person, and make them feel that they are not alone, then I have succeeded."
