Comedians sought for show in Jamaica

Wednesday, August 16, 2017 — Issue 421

JAMAICA — The Jamaica Community Arts Council is looking for a few good comics to perform at their first comedy night at the historic town hall on Thursday, Sept. 7.

The group is hoping to get a variety of acts to fill the evening with monologues, musicians with funny songs, partners doing skits, or even kids with a few funny jokes.

This is a great opportunity to get experience on stage in front of a live audience and, with the incredible acoustics in the classic Vermont town hall, participants will feel like stars.

Email patmeulemans@myfairpoint.net or stop in at Meulemans' Craft Draughts in Rawsonville to sign up.
