Ready for a night of giggles, guffaws, and belly laughs that make you snort your drink? Look no further, because Theater West End is throwing open its doors for an epic laugh-fest that’ll have you rolling in the aisles!

Imagine a place where the world’s worries can’t touch you, replaced by an avalanche of jokes from some hilariously talented folks you’ve never heard of (but will soon be stalking on social media), and a few comedy celebs you already know and love. Ever heard of Rauce Padgett? Of course, you have! He’s the local radio legend and comedy genius who’s handpicked a lineup of his comedy faves just to tickle your funny bone.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill stand-up night. It’s a comedy party hosted by Theater West End, where the laughs are loud, the comedians are on fire, and the audience is in stitches from start to finish. Picture yourself sipping on your favorite drink, surrounded by friends (or soon-to-be friends), all of you laughing so hard that you forget about everything else.

AGES: Recommended for ages 16+. Adult language expected.
