Ladies LOL Comedy Show will be held Oct. 16

Comedians will come down to the Marysville Opera House for a local women’s night out with the return of the Ladies LOL Comedy Show.

The show is Oct. 16 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The event is at the Marysville Opera House at 1225 Third St., Marysville.

“We’re going to host a couple of comedians at the Opera House,” said Kristen Rasmussen, a recreation supervisor with the city of Marysville’s Parks, Culture and Recreation Department.

There will be an opening act, followed by a headliner and then a more “interactive” group with Seattle’s ComedySportz improv group.

The event will be catered and food is included in the ticket price. Beer and wine will also be available for purchase.

“The Marysville Soroptimists are selling beer and wine as a fundraiser at the event,” said Rasmussen.

The comedy night is meant to provide local entertainment at the opera house.

“It should be a fun evening and we’re really looking forward to it,” said Rasmussen. “It’s a nice way to get out with the ladies in the area."

The city wants to use the opera house building to host entertainment, including the comedy night.

“We just want to provide opportunities for people to have something to look forward to do while being mindful of safety and COVID,” said Rasmussen.

COVID pandemic precautions at the event will follow state guidelines and those registering will have to acknowledge that masks are required at the event.

The city has held the event twice before in 2018 and 2019 but was unable to hold it last year.

“This was so well-received in the past we knew we wanted to try to bring it back,” said Rasmussen.

The event is sponsored by Stivers Accounting & Bookkeeping.

“We try and highlight some local women-led businesses and organizations in the community as well,” said Rasmussen.

Registration for the event is available online at marysvillewa.gov.
