Laughter Cures All at the Comedy Showcase

Cultural Arts Coalition’s “2026 Comedy Showcase”

Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Where: The Studio Around the Corner, 67 Main Street, Brewster, NY

Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door on online at www.culturalartsco.com

The Cultural Arts Coalition invites you to forget your cares at the 2026 Comedy Showcase on Saturday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Studio Around the Corner.  Host Jack Ludlum headlines the show, which also features four other Showcase first-timers who have been sharpening their craft on Monday nights at Cultural Arts Coalition’s long-standing Comedy Open Mic.

Host Jack Ludlum (a self-proclaimed “Encyclopedia of Useless Information”)  has been performing all over New York State and the Hudson Valley area for over a decade.  His act has evolved from his myriad of interests – science, film, music, and even his own turbulent personal life. His influences include George Carlin, Colin Quinn, Patrice O’Neal, Dave Attell and Doug Stanhope.

He will be joined by returning Showcase comic Geordan Mallas, who likes to joke about any number of subjects on his growing Instagram comedy channel (@geordanfromtheinternet) and “cares deeply about his craft and giving the audience a fun night out.”

Ludlum and Mallas will be joined by three Comedy Showcase first-timers – Jon Leary, PJ Slattery, and Jakob Gleason.  Improviser and actor Leary is the co-host of the “Great to Be Here” podcast and can be found at @JonLearyHAHA on all platforms.  Carmel native Slattery has been doing standup since 2020 and suggests that “you’ve probably seen him perform in public restrooms, at the DMV, and on milk crates in your local alleyway to stray cats.”  Gleason performs at showcases all over the Hudson Valley, including venues like City Winery and The Grisly Pear.

Tickets can be bought in advance on Cultural Arts Coalition’s web site (www.culturalartsco.com) or at the door.
