Answering the call for new kinds of networking opportunities sounded in the recent Impact Survey, the DLE is boldly advancing into a new programming frontier: COMEDY!

The first-ever DLE Virtual Comedy Hour will be held Friday, Jan. 15 at 8 pm ET with headline comics who stirred up applause on major network TV shows.

Featured on the bill are Usama Siddiquee, as seen on America’s Got Talent, Caitlin Peluffo from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jocelyn Chia from Live at Gotham and Andre D. Thompson from The Tonight Show.

The show will be hosted by Kiar Holland and Charlie Nadler of LaughDealers.com, who will create digital celebrity impersonations and wrap up the event with a live Q&A session about the transformations of stand-up comedy during these challenging times for live comedy. Kiar and Charlier were among the latest cohort of entrepreneurs participating in the EforAll Berkshires program for launching new businesses.

All acts will be family friendly and suitable for all generations. All jokes will be clean and respectful.

Tickets are priced at $15 per household, so round up your family for a night of laughter and fun. Early registration is encouraged as this promises to be a popular event. Click here.
