Call Me Jerry

MY LIFE PERFORMING FOR RETIREMENT HOMES

AND

BRINGING HUMOUR TO THOSE IN NEED

According to a study done by the Ontario Long-Term Care Association in 2018, 85% of long-term care residents need extensive help with daily activities and 90% have some form of cognitive impairment. Around 40% suffer from some form of mood disorder, including depression.

 

In this hilarious and poignant key-note talk, Nicholas recounts his experience as a Jerry Lewis Impersonator for the elderly.

Nicholas highlights the needs required by seniors in various living environments and draws comparisons between western and eastern treatment of elders.

​

Audiences are encouraged, by the end of this talk, to find ways to bring therapeutic entertainment, joy and laughter to those in need.
