EDMONTON The Grindstone Comedy Festival is bringing back laughs to Edmonton’s core. The comedy festival at Grindstone Theatre, running July 21 to July 25, will feature Canada’s top comedians, sketch groups, and improvisers, including: Jon Dore, Chris Locke, Mark Meer, Ron Pederson, Adrienne Fish, Andrea Jin, Ryan Williams, and Charles Haycock. The comedy festival first appeared in 2019 but was forced to cancel in 2020 due to the pandemic. “This is kind of like the remounted second festival. Some of the response that we have had is the excitement of the first gig back – overall, just excited to be performing again,” said artistic director Byron Martin.

LEHI For many, a Parkinson s diagnosis can significantly change someone s abilities and lifestyle.
But as one Utah neurologist says, recent research suggests early intervention through exercise can make a lifelong difference.
Jennifer Christ, 55, was diagnosed with Parkinson s disease nearly two years ago. My left toes curled all the time, even in a shoe. I had the tremor, I was starting to choke when I was eating. I was getting a blank face. My gait was different, I noticed, and I lost my left arm swing, she described.
She first started noticing symptoms when she was only 49 years old. She was initially misdiagnosed with a stress-induced tremor, but her symptoms continued to get worse.
