Reno Tahoe Comedy is proud to present Drew Shafer’s “Conquering Cancer with Comedy”. Partial proceeds from this show will benefit the Relay for Life, an American Cancer Society annual event that takes place in cities across the country.

Drew Shafer


Drew Shafer, better known as “Fernley’s Finest”, is a Reno Tahoe Comedy favorite and starred in the short film “Russian Roulette” which was selected as a Best of Nevada film for the 2018 Dam Short Film Festival. Shafer is also a former high school math teacher with many stories to share. He blends charming awkwardness, self-deprecation, and clever twists and turns to entertain every crowd he encounters.

Shafer started the “Conquering Cancer with Comedy” show in honor of his older brother, Kyle, who passed away from cancer in 2013. Kyle’s clever puns and ability to make anyone feel better led Drew to try stand-up comedy. Kyle was only able to see Drew perform one time before he passed away, but Drew has continued comedy in Kyle’s memory.

The show will also feature performances from the top Reno and Sacramento talent. Hosting is Jimmy Earll, featuring Kelly Hilbert and guest appearances by Sammy Solorio and Jim Fleming. Come enjoy a great show and support a great cause at the same time!

A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again). With soft muscles after 7 months of no swimming, the only health left is my sense of humor :) Comment publication date: 10/1/26, 11:18 AM Comment source: Fernley Pool Renovation Moves Forward, One Test at a Time Comment author: PFB Comment text: Why can't you guys find competent contractors.. For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

Anyone who knows Fernley KNOWS this is more of the who you are related to and know business in this town. VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
