GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN
MAR
Gilda's LaughFest
"Life does not cease to
be funny when people
die any more than it ceases to be
serious when people laugh," said
George Bernard Shaw. Nevertheless, a quarter-century after
her untimely passing at 42, Gilda
Radner, the legendary Michigan
native, comedienne, actress, and
Saturday Night Live vet, continues
to inspire joy, levity, and laughter
courtesy of Gilda's LaughFest.
The 4-year-old festival is a hotbed
of hilarity, featuring more than
200 free and ticketed comedy
shows in some 40 venues throughout downtown Grand Rapids.
A collision of stand-up, sketch
comedy, improvisation, and yukfilled films, this year's 10-day
LaughFest boasts headlining
gigs by Jay Leno, Chris Tucker,
and Lily Tomlin, raising awareness and funds for Gilda's Club
Grand Rapids, an organization
providing free emotional health
care to those stricken with cancer.
Best-selling author and comedian
Jim Gaffigan, 30 Rock vet Judah
Friedlander, and Comedy Central fave Nick Thune also play
solo shows, while a wide range of
Clean Comedy Showcases offer
family-friendly guffaws for those
with small fries. Isn't it time to get
your dose of the best medicine?

DOWN TOWN
In the city that
never sleeps,
who needs
pillows-
unless it's
International
Pillow Fight Day.
MUCH MUSIC
At last year's
BUKU fest in
New Orleans,
Kid Cudi's set
was smokin'.
