An Evening of Comedy with Sam Adams

Friday, May 30th, 2008, 7 PM
“Big Time, Small Town Tour”
Some of the biggest laughs are found in the smallest towns across America. Funny names. Funny places. Funny tales. Yes, the bright lights of Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York are great. However, small town gigs are rewarding. So the 'Big Time, Small Town Tour' is about bringing big-time laughs to some really nice people in smaller towns across the Rocky Mountain region throughout the month of May, with no better place to close the tour than in “Little-ton”, which still prides itself on small-town traditions. Comedians Sam Adams, Rubi Nicholas and Stephanie McHugh promise you a night of clean comedy that will be talked - and laughed - about for days to follow.
Tickets: $7.50 adult, $5 member
