Comedy that raises money for local schools

Video: Comedian Tom Hayes jokes about New Hampshire
Springfield Vermont’s Elementary School PTA Comedy Night Fundraiser is on Saturday Sept. 29. Doors open at 7 p.m. for a silent auction, refreshments and Trout River Brewing Company. The show starts at 8 p.m.

This year’s event takes place at The Great Hall, One Hundred River Street in Springfield, Vermont. This is an 18 years and older event. The comedians performing are Tom Hayes, Kyle Crawford, and EJ Edmonds.

Tom Hayes is a nationally recognized comedian, magician, imposter, writer, entrepreneur, motivational and keynote speaker. Kyle Crawford performs nationally in clubs, colleges and festivals and has been featured on Comcast Comedy Spotlight twice. EJ Edmonds says he sees the humor real-life stories turning them into real-life comedy.

Last year’s comedy event raised more than $7,500. The PTA awarded $5,000 to Union Street and Elm Hill Elementary Schools. The funds are supporting school activities and projects to benefit all students. Profits will likely also be used to fund author visits to the schools this year.

“We are stepping it up a notch this year," says PTA Comedy Night chair Meredith Kelley. “Moving to a new space and creating a club atmosphere should make this event even more fun to attend.”

The new location at The Great Hall at One Hundred River Street in Springfield, Vermont will allow for an expansion of food and beverage options for guests. There will also be a silent auction, games and prizes. Tickets are available at ptacomedy@gmail.com.

Special thanks to the 2018 PTA Comedy event sponsors Kelley Sales and Service and Gurney Brothers Construction both of Springfield, Vermont. This year’s event is also in partnership with Jerry Farnum - State Farm, Ultimate Auto Body, and Undercover Tent Rental LLC.
