He created the first buyers club in America. He fought with Dr. Tony Fauci to get drugs approved faster. His story is incredible and we are so excited to share it with Montreal.”The show will be hosted by Resurrection’s own Dane Stewart with musical performances by NYC cabaret performer, Andrew Morrisey, and internationally acclaimed jazz pianist, Andrew Boudreau.
