Job well done, guys! 2013 was a very, very good year for the nation’s only ten day community-wide festival of laughter, Gilda’s LaughFest. That is because they had more than 53,000 admissions during the third annual event.
I'm a sucker for quick, one liner type jokes and puns. I love them...they make me laugh...they make me happy. They're groaners and "laughers," I know, but they always put a smile on my face. And, on a Monday morning, I would say a smile-on-your-face is a good thing.
So, you think you're funny, huh?
Everybody tells you you're great...you should be a comedian.
Okay, now it's "put up, or shut up" time. LaughFest is just around the corner and this is the time to prove your worth.
It takes a lot of people to make sure Gilda's LaughFest is a success. Hundreds of volunteers help in so many different areas. How would you like to be one of them?
What in the world is an ampersand?
You mean you didn't learn that in school? An ampersand, or, "&”, is a logogram representing the word "and.”
But, it’s also the title of a new play by Seattle playwright Vincent Delaney, opening next Thursday night, March 22snd, on the Actors Theatre stage at Spectrum Theater.
LaughFest is almost here. It kicks off on March 8th and runs for 10 days, until March 18th, in Grand Rapids.
The LaughFest folks want to get it started in record style, Guinness World Record style. How? Laughing, of course, by having the most people wearing animal noses. Everyone who can make it will wear fake chicken beaks.
Congratulations to Gilda's Club of Grand Rapids. LaughFest is up for a national comedy award. Pretty cool for an event only moving into it's second year.
Gilda's Club of Grand Rapids announced their 2012 lineup for LaughFest and it's a big one running March 8 - 18, 2012!
After a record breaking inaugural year you'd think it would be hard to top Betty White, Bill Cosby and the like. But LaughFest #2 looks equally exciting...
Hey, I hope you're enjoying the weekend. Facebook is a great way to stay connected with your co-workers until Monday, but maybe you'd rather disconnect and savor your privacy for two days.
It's a trade-off.
