On March 11, The Comedy Tornado and the Liberty Hurricanes will converge at the American Club Pavilion in Coplay for a night of food, music, and most of all, laughter.
Paul Venier is a comedian from Toms River, N.J. who will perform his one-man show as a fundraiser for Liberty’s girls’ softball team.
Liberty coach Sam Carrodo said, “The school takes care of us very well, but we want to take some of that burden off and have enough money for some other things, like bat bags and jackets, and food, if we have a long away trip.”
Carrodo first heard of Venier when the coach headed the softball team at Northampton Community College.
“He is just 100 mph on that stage. He brings props, he uses the audience, he sings. It’s just hilarious,” said Carrodo.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. for a buffet-style dinner, and the adults-only (ages 18 and older) comedy show will begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets cost $20 per person and can be purchased at the door, or by contacting Carrodo or any Liberty High School softball player.
