Two hundred comics were seen and 40 were selected to appear in the showcases. For the LAUGHING LIBERALLY LAB, Barry Crimmins is serving as artistic director and will work with a dozen of the comics from the showcases along with more established names to present comedic spin and up-to-the-minute commentary on the weeks headlines and the current state of the union. The LAUGHING LIBERALLY LAB will also feature music, spoken word, and works by short-subject filmmakers and video artists.
The weekly schedule of performances of the LAUGHING LIBERALLY LAB at The 45th Street Theater is Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and Fridays at 11 p.m. Tickets are $ 10 and may be reserved by calling (212) 967-7079 ext 210.
