60 comedians each get one minute to make the audience laugh

The pressure is on to deliver the winning punchline

Sometimes short and sweet is powerful. Think of Fredric Brown’s 1948 short story "Knock," which opens with, "The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door."

That's enough to send chills. 

While the comedians at Good Good Comedy's Aug. 26 event won't be aiming to spook audience members with a few lines, they might have a tougher job. Can they make the audience laugh in a minute or less?

Sixty comedians will each get one minute on the Plays & Players Theatre stage to perform their monologue. The pressure is on to deliver the winning punchline.

Tickets for the event, beginning at 8:30 p.m., are $5 per person.
