Laugh It Up At Liberty Corner Fire Co. Comedy Night

Tickets are $40 in advance for a trio of nationally touring comedians.

The Liberty Corner Fire Company, your local all-volunteer fire and rescue organization, will host its 8th Annual Comedy Night on Saturday evening, June 5, 2010 in the ballroom of the firehouse at 95 Church Street. 

This year's show features a trio of comics who play from New York to California, HBO to Comedy Central, star in films and theatre.

Kerri Louise is the only woman in five years to have reached the semi-finals of The San Francisco Comedy Competition. Part Generation X and part girl next door, Kerri's comedy style has earned her opportunities to appear in the 1997 HBO Aspen Comedy Festival, NBC's "Last Comic Standing," Comedy Central's "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn," The Today Show and Access Hollywood. A regular in the New York City comedy circuit, Kerri has played at The Comic Strip, Stand Up New York, and The Gotham Comedy Club.
