Komen Lubbock Announces the 8th Annual Laugh For The Cure [VIDEO]

Susan G. Komen Lubbock has announced their 8th annual Laugh For The Cure. John Crist will headline this year February 11th at the Civic Center.

I went to the show last year and had a blast. The comedians are truly funny and all of the extras involved make it a whole fun filled evening. There are silent auctions, live auctions, a raffle and 2 comedians taking the stage for a family night of comedy. Yes these comedians are PG so you can bring the kids. They may not get the jokes, but you can bring them.
