Thanks to those who attended our March 22 event at the Comedy Works Comedy Club in Albany. Comedians Michael Che and Chris Rich most certainly lived up to their top billing as they kept the audience laughing and entertained, and the dinner and socializing with members was also enjoyable. We look forward to doing something like this again in the future – stay tuned.
