Big Laughs — 23/08/10

Hippo edition Big Laughs showing photo of female comedian in front of microphone making dramatic gesture

Did you hear the one about the comedy show on Hampton Beach? OK, there’s no punchline to that — just a whole lotta information about where to find big comedy shows, weekly comedy shows and a whole fall calendar full of comedy shows. Michael Witthaus catches up with comedians and show organizers to help you find out where to go to have a laugh. Photo above and on the cover is of comedian Kerri Louise; photo by Karl Baierlein.

Also on the cover Fests all over! Leave your Saturday meal plans to the Great New England BBQ & Food Truck Fest in Milford (see page 24). Do some shopping at the Manchester Arts & Crafts Fair, also on Saturday (page 15). And if you’re looking for more movies, check out the Manchester International Film Festival (page 17).
