Ansonia comedian Johnny Rizzo and the band Soul Potatoes will perform Sunday, Sept. 18 at Danny O’s Bar & Grille, 458 River Road, in Shelton, in a benefit for a man battling cancer.
The event will run from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The donation is $25. It will be a cash bar, with some munchies provided.
Proceeds will help pay daily living expenses for Mark Rizzo, a Brookfield resident who has a brain tumor. Mark Rizzo is Johnny Rizzo’s cousin.
“He is a husband, father and family man,” Johnny Rizzo said. He is unemployed, due to his condition, while receiving treatment for a brain tumor, the comedian said.
