According to famed comedian Jim Belushi, 'We are not stand-up comedians. Our show is not a passive, sit-back-and-watch experience. Most of the fun we have on stage comes from our inclusion of the audience - we get suggestions from them to begin each scene we perform, and in certain instances, bring them on-stage with us to add to our performance. It's less a 'show' and more a party. At least it feels like one to me. This group of actors brings me right back to how I started out in comedy - maybe that's why we have so much fun doing it.' And so it will be at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Thursday, April 3, at 8 p.m. when Jim Belushi and the Chicago Board of Comedy are in the house. Bissell House (378 Main St., Ridgefield) will pour a free glass of wine or draught beer with dinner the night of this show when tickets/stubs are presented. This event is underwritten by Cultec & Fairfield County Bank and is part of the Clark Construction Comedy Series with media sponsor i95fm. Opie
