TORONTO - Mike Myers will take to the stage in Toronto as part of a comedy fundraiser for a local cancer charity.
The ºÃÉ«tv comedian will perform as part of "It's Always Something: Open Mike" at The Second City Toronto on May 12.
"Whose Line Is It Anyway?" star Colin Mochrie will also perform, and improv comic David Shore is set to host.
The show will also feature Shore's "Monkey Toast: The Improvised Talk Show."
The event is being hosted by Gilda's Toronto, a charity named for the late comedian Gilda Radner, an original cast member of "Saturday Night Live." The organization offers support to cancer patients and their family members.Â
Myers was born in Toronto and got his breakout on "SNL." He's returned to the show in recent months to portray Elon Musk, and made headlines for wearing a T-shirt on stage defending Canada's sovereignty in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's comments about making the country the "51st state."

Note to readers:This is a corrected story. An earlier version erroneously reported Mike Myers would be performing standup. In fact, it's a comedy show, but not a standup show.
