Laugh Local Vol V: Holiday Escape
November 28, 2026
You survived the family gathering. Now let’s laugh about it.
On Sale
You’ve passed the potatoes. You’ve answered the questions. You’ve spent quality time with the family. Now take a little time off for good behavior.
Laugh Local returns to The Ideal Theater & Bar on Saturday, November 28, for its fifth installment, presented by Josh Staley. This edition’s theme: Holiday Escape. The immensely popular series brings together some of the area’s best local comics for a curated night of comedy, and Thanksgiving weekend gives them plenty to work with.
Leave the leftovers in the fridge, get your people together, and settle in for a night where someone else does the talking. Your only family obligation here? Laugh when it’s funny.
