If laughter is the best medicine, get ready for a triple dose of humor revisiting the stand-up comedy of Elayne Boosler. She broke through the industry to become the first female comedian to have a one-hour cable special, then went on to create two more in the 80's alone. With charisma and candor, Elayne works through her material effortlessly and seamlessly, weaving comedy gold from single life, double standards, dating, baseball, and so much more. So order your two drinks and give some love as Elayne Boosler takes the stage in her comedy specials Party of One, Broadway Baby, and Top Tomata.
