The 7th annual Gilda’s LaughFest is underway this week to “celebrate laughter for the health of it.”
Beginning in 2011, the Gilda’s LaughFest is the nation’s first-ever community-wide comedy festival, with all proceeds from the 10-day event benefiting Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids.
WGVU sits down with local comedian Ben Wilke to talk about his upcoming performance at LaughFest Saturday night at the Wealthy Street Theater, as well as a successful Kickstarter he created that will bring a new comedy club to Grand Rapids.
