"The King of the One Liners," Barry Weisenberg, will headline the show.

The show will be hosted and produced by comedians, Hurracane and Denise Williamson, of Hurracane and 1/2 Enterprises. Check them out on Facebook
Seniors will love them because they can relate to their life experiences, and young people will love them because they are funny, irreverent and remind them of their parents and grandparents.
