Need a laugh? We'll have plenty of them on Saturday, August 8 when comedian Rich Vos -- co-host of wildly popular SiriusXM Radio show, "My Wife Hates Me" -- returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse tonight, August 8, 2015 at 8 p.m. for A Night of Comedy Headliners.

The evening which is part of the Clark Construction Comedy Series, is hosted by Peter Vouras and includes great stand up with Rich Vos's wife and partner in crime, Bonnie McFarlane.

Also featured is stand-up comedian, actor, writer, comedian, voice artist, and performer Jim Florentine, who is currently co-hosting VH1 Classic's hit heavy metal talk show series That Metal Show alongside Eddie Trunk and now label-mate Don Jamieson. Jim Florentine is best known for his work on Comedy Central's show Crank Yankers where he performed the voice of Special Ed, a mentally challenged teenager, and Bobby Fletcher, a despicable, alcoholic slob who is the older cousin of Ed. Jim Florentine opened up the American Carnage Tour for Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer in arenas across the country. He was recently featured on the 2015 season finale of Louie and will be on the current season of Inside Amy Schumer.

Start the night off at Steakhouse Cellar Door (439 Main Street, Ridgefield) and receive free glass of wine or beer and free dessert with dinner the night of the show, when tickets are presented. Media sponsor is 99.1fm WPLR.

Rich Vos is an incredibly gifted comic who not only has sharp, insightful material, but is also a master at working the crowd. His ability to perform in front of any audience has landed him television shows as varied as being the first white comic on Def Jam to performing on The View. Rich was the breakout star of NBC's Last Comic Standing seasons 1 and 3, was a regular guest on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and wrote for Chris Rock when he hosted The Academy Awards in 2005 and is a regular on the Opie and Anthony radio show. Bonnie McFarlane did her first open mic in Vancouver, Canada. The manager of the club told her she should enter a contest, The Search for Canada's Funniest New Comic. She did, and she won. She moved to New York and went on to participate in the second season of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" becoming one of the show's stand-out characters! Vos pulls no punches with his unique, no-holds-barred perspective on relationships, divorce and parenthood. This trio of comedy will appeal to all audiences!
