McCormick told GayNrd:

“I’m from DC originally and we are donating a portion of the shows sales to Mary’s House for Older LGBTQ Adults. People can expect a great show as always. It’s going to be funny, uplifting and although we’re gonna be laughing—come with your thinking hats on, because we are gonna talk about some real shit.”
