Ritch Shydner presents a compelling one-night-only performance, exploring the evolution of stand-up comedy in America. Through anecdotes about forgotten trailblazers, martyred icons, and well-known stars, Shydner illustrates how this art form serves as both entertainment and a reflection of societal trends. This event, part of the Odyssey Theatre's "Comedy Night" series, promises to offer insights into the cultural significance of humor.
