| What is The Big Slick In Kansas City |
From Poker Night to Pop Culture Phenomenon
This ain't your grandma's bridge tournament. The Big Slick started in 2010 as a celebrity poker game, the brainchild of Kansas City's comedy royalty: Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, and Rob Riggle. Think "Ocean's Eleven" with punchlines instead of pickpocketing.
They wrangled their famous friends (think Will Ferrell, Kristen Bell, and a whole lot more) for a night of friendly competition and fundraising for Children's Mercy Kansas City. Fast forward to today, and The Big Slick has become a full-blown pop culture phenomenon.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
We're talking a celebrity softball game, a star-studded show, and enough laughs to leave your cheeks hurting. Oh, and they've raised over $20 million for the kids at Children's Mercy in the process. Not too shabby for a bunch of funny folks and their poker chips, right?
So, How Can You Be a Part of the Big Slick Fun? (Besides Wishing You Were BFFs with Paul Rudd)
Here's the good news: you don't need to be a Hollywood insider to get in on the Big Slick action. Here are a few ways to join the party:
- Snag Tickets: The Big Slick throws a mean celebrity softball game and a hilarious show. Tickets tend to sell out fast, so keep an eye on their website ([Big Slick Website])
- Donate Online: Can't make it to Kansas City? No sweat! You can still support Children's Mercy through the Big Slick website. Every dollar counts!
- Channel Your Inner Comedian: The Big Slick is all about laughter. So crack some jokes with your friends, tell some bad puns (hey, they raise money too!), and celebrate the spirit of the event.
Bonus Tip: If you ever bump into Paul Rudd on the street (hey, it could happen!), hit him up with your best joke. You never know, you might just end up at next year's Big Slick! (Okay, maybe that last one's a stretch, but a man can dream, right?)
