The glorious summer season is slowly coming to an end. With an epic run of warm, sunny days behind us, seasonal change is inevitable and overdue. Warm yourself at Rochester’s Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel on Saturday, October 18 with what James Thurber called “the appreciative smile, the chuckle, the soundless mirth, so important to the success of comedy, [which] cannot be understood unless one sits among the audience and feels the warmth created by the quality of laughter that the audience takes home with it.”

With Season 9 filming set to air in May 2015, NBC’s Last Comic Standing began with open casting calls more than a decade ago. Since then, their stages have been graced by such comedy legends as Gabriel Iglesias, Ralphie May, Kathleen Madigan and Joel McHale. The show uses experienced comedic judges as well, including Roseanne Barr, Drew Carey, Brett Butler, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Kathy Griffin, Garry Marshall and Tim Meadows.

Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel Marketing Manager Lindy Waring says, “Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel is really excited to have this nationally televised hit show in our Event Center. We have not teamed up with a reality show before and it should be a big hit. Tickets have been selling fast!”

Don't miss out on this evening of laughter, featuring comedians such as  Lachlan Patteron.

Amongst the night’s performers are finalists Nikki Carr, Rocky LaPorte, Lachlan Patterson and Joe Machi, as well as winner Rod Man. On their season of the show, “Comics had to participate in a variety of challenges that tested their improvisation, roasting and talk show guest skills. Here, they received advice from comedians Cheryl Hines, Howie Mandel, Jeff Ross, Jay Leno and Executive Producer Wanda Sykes. Ellen Degeneres hosted the talk show guest challenge on the set of her show, while Gilbert Gottfried was the target for the roast challenge.” With those difficult performances under their belts, the evening is sure to be a laugh riot from start to finish.

Tickets start at $30 for Players Club members and the event promises to sell out quickly. Make a night of it and arrive early for dinner or a few hands, rounds, spins, pulls, or throws beforehand. For an end of summer fling, book one of Lucky Eagle’s many gorgeous rooms for a pre-holiday-madness staycation.

Season 8’s top 5 will be in town for one show only so don’t delay. Tickets are on sale now at the Lucky Eagle Box Office, online, or by calling Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel at 800-720-1788. Nearly one thousand guests are expected for such an amazing evening of laughter and fun.

As one of only two Washington stops on their three month, nation-wide tour, this event is not to be missed. Warm up sharing laughter this season with those you love most.
