Welcome to the Singing Patient's webpage!
Carla (The Singing Patient) is a musical medical comedian who performs keynote speeches and comedy concerts for patients, healthcare workers, caregivers, nurses, and physicians.
She speaks on the power of humor- and its proper use- in healing. Her songs touch on topics such as drug side effects, waiting rooms, peeing in a jug, and losing your butt- all based on her experiences as a patient.
Carla has recorded 5 CDs of humorous songs, including the CD "Sick Humor" (all funny medical songs). She is also the author of "How Can You *Not* Laugh at a Time Like This?," a collection of humorous essays about her adventures as a patient. To hire Carla for your event, e mail carla@thesingingpatient.com or call (908)616-3482.
You can also sign the email list to get the monthly newsletter, including updates on shows and other news. Stop by the "Guestbook" and say hi, or peruse the MP3 page to hear some "sick humor" songs.
I'm also here:
Carla will sign, read from the book, tell a few stories about her adventures as a patient, and answer questions. Books and CDs will be on hand for signing/ purchase.
I will be competing in our club's International Speech Contest, and perhaps also the Speech Evaluation contest. Twice a year, Toastmasters hosts contests in order to motivate members to up their game, and to give all members the opportunity to watch and listen as the best speakers in their area and district put their best foot forward.
