Maurice Benard takes on GH in stand-up routine

General Hospital's Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) is taking to the stage with a stand-up routine based on behind-the-scenes tidbits from Port Charles.

General Hospital occasionally gives Maurice Benard moments to flex his comedic skills as mobster Sonny Corinthos, but the ABC soap is more focused on dishing out drama than dishing out laughs. So, fans looking to get an in-depth view of the actor's comedy skills will have to look elsewhere. And we know just the place: an event he's doing this December in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Emmy-winning actor will be entertaining fans at Stand Up Live on Saturday, December 8, with a 90-minute set centered around behind-the-scenes stories from GH. VIP ticket holders will also get the chance to meet Benard in person after the show.
