Great Escape: Comedy Night

Laugh off your winter doldrums with comedian John Heffron this weekend at Hilarities 4th Street Theatre in downtown Cleveland.

Heffron's name may sound familiar — he won the second season of NBC's Last Comic Standing and is one of the people who makes witty, cynical comments on I Love the '80s and similar series on VH1. He has also appeared on Chelsea Lately and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Take shelter from the rain we're supposed to get this weekend and hear a few jokes from Heffron on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Tickets are $23, and showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursday and 7:30 p.m. or 10:15 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
