A night of cocktails, laughter, and community support hits Lafayette on October 24.
Town Hall Theatre Company will host Comedy for a Cause on Friday, October 24 at 7 p.m., an evening of stand-up, spirits, and support for Contra Costa County’s oldest continuously running theatre company. Tickets are $25 and available now at townhalltheatre.com.
The fundraiser will feature a powerhouse lineup of Bay Area comedic talent, including Gina Stahl-Haven, Sarah Shaughnessy, and Jenny Roberts, hosted by the charismatic Beth Carroll. After the show, audiences are invited to enjoy cocktails and mingle with the comedians in the theatre lobby.
