League of Laughs

On October 3, 2019, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times

On the first Saturday of every month Somerville’s legendary comic store Comicazi, converts its Davis Square showroom into a comedy club, appropriately named League of Laughs. A comedy show created for the geek in all of us, past performers have appeared on Netflix, Funny or Die, The Late Show, Conan, and Comedy Central while all sharing a singular credit, they are “nerds who tell jokes.”

The club, located behind velvet curtains at the rear of Comicazi, is a nostalgia lover’s dream. Filled floor to ceiling with collectibles this is the only place in the city where comedy fans can share space with all their favorite characters from Star Wars, DC, Marvel, WWE and even the Muppets.

Right in the heart of Davis Square, League of Laughs is the perfect mid-evening event with plenty of time to grab dinner before the show starts at 7:30 p.m. or drinks when it wraps around 9:00 p.m.

League of Laughs is hosted by Elisha Siegel, a local comedian, pro-wrestling super-fan and avid comic book reader. He regularly wears a wrestling belt on stage and gives away comic books from his vast personal collection.

Joining him is comedian David McLaughlin, the host of The Clean Comedy Show at ImprovBoston, whose writing credits include Funny or Die and the Rich Eisen Show.

This month’s lineup features a showcase of Boston’s talented rising stars Sean Duffy, Daniel McRobbie, Rachel Jane Andelman, Shyam Subermanian, and Ricardo Perez.

The next League of Laughs is coming up on October 5 at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are only $5. Comicazi is located at 407 Highland Ave in Davis Square, Somerville. For more information, email leagueoflaughscomedy@gmail.com or look for League of Laughs on Eventbrite.
