A bit of laughter is surely what we all need these days.
The sixth annual Pizza and Punchlines FREE Comedy Event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2022, at the Westfield High School auditorium, 18250 N. Union St. Pizza will be served at 6 p.m. and the comedy show will start at 7 p.m.
The comedy is family friendly with four nationally known entertainers. Local Indy comedian Dave “the King” Wilson will host the event. The show features Greenwood resident Hoss Ridgeway, June Colson from Bowling Green, Ky., and headliner Daren Streblow from Ely, Minn.
Streblow’s unique style of observational stand-up comedy has been entertaining hundreds of thousands of people throughout the United States and around the world. With an offbeat style that has earned him the title “The King of Uncool,” he now is part of the syndicated Daren Streblow Comedy Show providing a weekly dose of classy comedy to the United States and overseas.
Ridgeway uses standup comedy, impressions, crazy sound effects and musical comedy to bring his unique style to crowds all over the USA. He has recorded a DryBar special and is a regular at the Mike Huckabee show.
Colson is a comedian, writer, and podcaster born in Indiana and raised in the Bluegrass State. June holds the prestigious title as 2020’s Nashville Clean Comedy CHAMPION.
Wilson, a world-renowned stand-up comedian, has been an Indianapolis radio listeners’ companion, first from 1983 to 1995 with Bob & Tom on Q95 and then as the longtime host of the WIBC afternoon show. He has become a huge part of the Indy landscape.
Pizza and Punchlines is part of CrossRoads Church’s For Our Neighbor strategy to serve the people of the local community. CrossRoads’ lead pastor Eric Lohe said, “In our world, sometimes it seems like people have lots working against them. What if we choose to be FOR one another? What if we seek to understand one another and care for our neighbors who have needs? What if we give each other hope and a reason to live?”
