When I hear the words, "free comedy show" I immediately think of wannabe comics performing at an open mic night telling vulgar jokes about their bodily functions and blow jobs. Totally not my scene! So last summer when I heard about Laughter in the Park, a free comedy series in NYC, I attended with great trepidation. Now having seen several laugh-out-loud funny shows, I recommend them to anyone who will listen. The series is organized by NY Laughs, a non-profit organization dedicated to making the city a better place through humor (seriously, how great is that?!). The shows take place in various parks throughout the summer and draw some awesome comic talent. Past performers include Amy Schumer, Eddie Brill, Reggie Watts, and Christian Finnegan. The series also showcases up-and-coming comedians and has also introduced me to some really great comics who I never would have discovered before... like Chris Distefano (pictured below) who performed at Washington Square Park last year!
