Yuk Yuk?s veteran comedians Jean Paul and Kevin McGrath will drop by the Knights of Columbus hall. And that is a laughing matter.
The Yuk Yuk?s comedy show will take place in the upper hall at the Knights of Columbus hall downtown.
?It?s basically a fundraising event for Knights of Columbus?to raise funds for much need renovations,? said Iam McCracken, hall manager for Knights of Columbus.
The comedy show includes two hours of laughs by well-known comedians.
McGrath has appeared many times on Canadian television including three headlining spots on Comedy at Club 54 in Burlington. He has also performed at many colleges and universities.
McGrath has worked with famous comedians such as Gilbert Gottfried, Eugene Levy and Rita Rudner.
Paul was born in Trinidad, raised in Brooklyn and currently resides in Toronto.
He has enjoyed comedy for many years, starting when he was a child.
?I was always into comedy, even as a kid, I found it fascinating,? Paul said. ?Some of my friends were into model car kits, I was into Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Bill Cosby.?
Paul likes to feed off the vibe of the room when performing his comedy sketches.
McCracken hopes the show will be a big hit.
?If this one is successful, we can look into bringing the event back to Sudbury again,? McCracken said.
Tickets are $23 and can be purchased by phoning the Knights of Columbus hall at 673-3637.
Doors open at 7 pm and the show starts at 9 pm.
