TGIF: Time For A Laugh

It's been a crazy week, and I'm glad it's over.. When I have days like this the only thing that really helps me relax is a good laugh. So as I was looking for events to complete my TGIF series for the week I came across some comedy events. Unfortunately, they are all UPCOMING events and nothing for this weekend.. Its ok people dry your eyes! It gives you some time to get your tickets!
