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. With a warm smile hiding a mischievous mind, Alex delivers comedy that’s equal parts festive, honest, and deliciously dark—perfect for anyone who loves the holidays but knows they’re just a little bit broken.
Featuring is Josh Staley, a self-deprecating comedian who turns holiday chaos and nerdy obsessions into quick, clever laughs. With a warm, awkward charm, he mines his own festive missteps and geek-level passions for material everyone secretly relates to.
Our headliner for the evening is Donny Townsend. He's a wickedly funny comedian who can turn even the most chaotic holiday moment into a laugh-until-you-snort memory. Whether he’s skewering traditions, roasting audience members with jolly good cheer, or rewriting the North Pole’s HR policies on the fly, Donny brings a warm, unfiltered energy that keeps crowds howling.
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.
