Meet Another LaughFest Comedian: Baron Vaughn [Video]

Gilda's Club LaughFest officially begins tonight.  Rosa Parks Circle is the place that organizers are hoping over 1600 people will show up and wear dark glasses to set a world's record for people wearing dark glasses at night.  Goofy? Yes! Funny? Yes! That's LaughFest.The next 10-days there will be comedy on nearly every street corner, all to show that laughter is the best medicine. And, I want to introduce you to some of the best comics coming to town.  We know the headliners, but probably don't know some of the other fantastic talents that will be here.

Today, meet Baron Vaughn. He is a comedian and actor known as a cast member on the USA Network television series Fairly Legal, on which he plays legal assistant Leonardo Prince.
