All of the laughs, none of the cheer.

Laugh Local Vol. III: The Holiday Edition brings together the comics whose deep, begrudging ties to the area ensure they’ll never fully leave, no matter how many times they say they’re going to.

Returning to herd this festive circus is your host Dylan Wenzel — the Temu Harry Potter whose sarcastic, zany wit ricochets around the room like a spell gone sideways.

Next up is Alex Cook, who poses as a likable human being but probably peaked at a tailgate.

Then we've got Josh Staley, a man whose posture alone could qualify him for disaster relief funding. With the stage presence of someone who just got dumped via voicemail, Josh’s self-deprecating charm delivers all of the laughs and none of the cheer.

Then finally, swooping in talons-first, is our headliner Donny Townsend — a wry bird of prey with a razor-sharp beak ready to peck out the eyeballs of every non-combatant. He’s wickedly funny, unapologetically prickly, and very much on Santa’s permanent naughty list.

So come on out and JOIN US for Laugh Local Vol. III: The Holiday Edition — the comedy showcase recommended by doctors, therapists, and at least one Grinch.
