Last Laugh Friday continues its high-energy comedy series at The Bornemann Theatre at TERI Campus of Life with headliner James P. Connolly, a nationally touring comedian known for his stand-up style and backed by an unusually varied life story from a Harvard ROTC scholarship and Desert Storm to major comedy venues.
Last Laugh Friday is hosted by Emmy-winning actor and comedian Mark Christopher Lawrence. The bi-monthly series brings top-tier stand-up talent to North County San Diego for an evening of nonstop laughs.
Connolly’s comedy draws from everyday life, current events, and his life experiences, delivering a smart, clean, and engaging show that resonates with a wide range of audiences. He has appeared on America’s Got Talent, HBO, Comedy Central, and is a regular guest on SiriusXM.
The night of comedy features Noah Copfer, a fast-rising comic with a stand-up special with Don’t Tell Comedy and national tour opening for top comics. It also includes San Diego’s own Raaghav Thatte as the opening act, known for his infectious energy, quick wit, and spot-on impressions.
