FREDERICK, Md. - Marylandian -- Get ready for a night of side-splitting laughter as Ladies of Laughter®, the nation's premier stand-up comedy showcase featuring the funniest women in comedy, comes to New Spire Arts on Friday, November 15 at 7:00 PM. The show promises to be an unforgettable evening with two top-tier comedians, Alycia Cooper and Poppy Champlin, each delivering their own brand of uproarious, bold humor.

The Ladies of Laughter® program began as a tribute to the late Mary Jo Wobker, a trailblazing producer who helped women break into stand-up comedy. After her passing in 1992, the "Mary Jo Comedy Awards" launched what is now the Ladies of Laughter® series, showcasing rising stars in venues from comedy clubs to Madison Square Garden. This show features Alycia Cooper, the 2014 Ladies of Laughter Professional National Grand Champion. Alycia has opened for household names like Dick Gregory, Whitney Cummings, and Tony Rock, and has appeared on America's Got Talent and Nick's Mom's Night Out. Joining her is the newly crowned 2024 Ladies of Laughter National Professional Winner, Poppy Champlin. Trained at the legendary Second City Training Center, Poppy has been featured on shows such as The Joan Rivers Show, Showtime, Comedy Central, and Oprah and has opened for major names like Ray Romano, Denis Leary, and Bill Maher.
