Comedy Central comedian Jade Esteban Estrada will perform “A Lullaby for Ryan:  The History of HIV/AIDS in America” at 7 pm on Thursday, December 3rd at MCC of Albuquerque.

“A Lullaby for Ryan” incorporates comedy with a tribute to Ryan White. White was an American teenager who became an HIV/AIDS poster child in the 1980s when he was expelled from school because of his disease, which he contracted from a contaminated blood treatment.

Estrada’s method is particularly interesting because he uses entertainment-education in his shows.  He uses comedy to educate people about HIV/AIDS.  The approach is appealing, particularly to young people.  The audience is entertained and at the same time learning.

Admission is free, a love offering will be received.
