About the Event
Brought Back by Popular Demand!
It’s back, with a twist! The Women’s Center is bringing back our popular comedy night after taking a year off. In the past this event was called “She Laughs” and exclusively featured female comedians. We also had a separate event called “He Laughs” which featured—you guessed it—male comedians. We decided to bring the two together in the same room to battle it out.
Whose funnier—Women or Men?
Join us for a hilarious competition to see who you think is funnier–the men or the women! You will vote with cash by placing your voting dollars in either the women’s bowl or the men’s bowl on the stage.
Silent Auction
We will have a silent auction during the event with many packages, baskets, local artwork and table centerpieces by Twiggies in DeWitt, Michigan.

describes his comedy as “edgy, but with rounded corners.” Will moved to Maine for a while (He’s back in Michigan) where he honed his skills as a regular at Comedy Connection in Portland and headlined at Levity Comedy Cafe in Burlington, VT. He produced his first album in 2014 called F*&% Feed People where 100% of all funds raised from the sale of the album go to support the charity Sundays in Cass Park. Read more about Will.
