The Orange Lions Club is hosting its annual comedy night fundraising event, “Comedy Under the Stars,” on Saturday, Aug. 17 at the picnic pavilion outside High Plains Community Center in Orange.
In addition to headliner Craig “the FIG” Figuereido, Orange native Dave Sheehan is returning along with two other comedians. This event features professional stand-up comedians and is suitable for mature audiences.
The affair is a “bring-your-own beverage and snacks” event. Picnic table seating will be provided, but audience members may bring their own folding or concert chairs if desired. There will be a door prize and chances sold for baskets and prizes.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Tickets for this charity fundraising event are $30 per person, available for purchase from any Orange Lions Club member or by calling Lions Ken Lenz or Marianne Miller at 203-795-3906. The Comedy Under the Stars event has been a favorite of many patrons, because of the high quality of the comedic talent, and all proceeds go to the Lions’ charity and service events.
Funds raised by the Orange Lions Club supports many local charitable causes, including senior citizen and youth programs, the local food pantry, the fuel bank, annual children’s eye screenings, diabetes screenings and college scholarships for Amity High School graduates.
