Laughfest 2016

Comedian Jim Norton entertained a near sell out crowd Saturday night at the Fountain Street Church, but before he hit the stage, he went through his LaughFest gift bag as character 'Kirk Sinnamin', who's catch phrase happens to be 'cry me a river'. As in the Grand River.

Gilda’s LaughFest, the nation’s only community-wide festival of laughter, is expanding its schedule in Holland with more free shows and events going to the Lakeshore, including the Kids Joke Time.

Every year to kick off their event, the folks at Gilda's Laughfest attempt to set a world record. They have failed only one time (and we can probably blame that on the weather). This year, instead of breaking a new world record, they're going to try and take one back.

Roy Wood Jr. will be headlining two shows at Laughfest 2016 (Saturday March 19 at 8 and 10:30pm at the Wealthy Theater, 1130 Wealthy St SE) Roy currently is a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central, and he talked about that and other things Thursday morning with Jojo Girard on The Jojo Show.
