Cocktails & Comedy with Rock Recovery

We want to celebrate all that we have made it through and ring in the new year by inviting YOU to join us for a night of laughter, connection and community fun. Join Rock Recovery on Friday, January 29th for Cocktails, Comedy & Community Connection!

We will kick off the night with an interactive, cocktail class led by DC's own Brooke Brown of Bashes by Brooke Brown. In just 30 minutes, you and your friends will learn how to make two delicious cocktails (one bourbon-based and one vodka-based). Not a drinker? Not a problem! We can send along modifications for you to create your very own mocktail to enjoy with the rest of the group.

After the class, grab your drink and get ready for some laughs as comedian Joe Zimmerman joins the party. A self-described "ambassador of joy", Joe has shared his comedy gifts with some of our favorites including Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver and James Corden. Joe's style is clean, smart and original with flair for silly that all can enjoy. Want a sneak peek? Check out the clip below.

All proceeds from the event will go toward program scholarships to provide life-saving, eating disorder treatment to people like Sarah who are in need of clinical care and community support.

"Rock Recovery has given me a place to feel safe talking about my struggles and to address unhealthy eating disorder behaviors. They connected me to a community of people who are struggling with the same issues and we support one another. Now, I am back on the road to a full recovery and I am learning healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety. I have a great support system with Rock Recovery and I am getting the help I need." - Sarah, Program Graduate
