Two different comedy benefit shows on Thursday in the Wilmington area

Comedy benefit show at Mojo 13:

This comedy show benefits cancer patient and young father Dustin Walls.  The show runs from 8pm-11 on Thursday, and features local comedians Joe Mayo, Greg Lynn, Tommy Pope, Benny Michaels, Brendan Kennedy, and Michael Rainey (who has put this together).
From the organizer:
"This is a benefit for my good friend Dustin Walls. Last year, he was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a form of cancer. Since then, Dustin has been fighting it while having to endure radiation and chemotherapy. Dustin is one of the finest friends you could ever come across. This benefit means a great deal to Dustin, his wife Kylee, and their beautiful 2 year old daughter Layla. Also, some of my best comedian friends were willing to perform for free to make this event even better. I will be performing, as will Joe Mayo, Greg Lynn, Tommy Pope, Benny Michaels, and Brendan Kennedy. Please come out to support this event and the awesome person whom it stands to benefit."
The admission price is not being advertised on the event listing, but I would expect it to be somewhere around $5.

Comedy benefit show in Trolley Square / Little Italy:

This event benefits the Delaware Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and features comedians Mike Vecchione, Big Jay Oakerson, and local Geno Bisconte (who is amusingly hyped here as "seen on Fox News!").   The venue is Club 3 on 12th & Union.  I'm not familiar with this club, but it looks like the same location where several different clubs have been over the years, next to Frank's Wines.  Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.  Thursday, 9pm-midnight.
