However, if you do like a good side-splitting laugh, set some time aside for the Griffen Theatre's Comedy competition next week.
Join the fun as 26 comedians compete in the Witch City Comedy Contest for a $200 cash prize. Winners will be determined by audience votes, which means you control the contest! Some of the comedians have been performing at professional clubs in Boston, others have had just a handful of performances, but all are out to win! Each show will be hosted by actor/comedian Erik Rodenhiser and will feature a closing set by a professional Boston comic.
