I was so excited to hear that Santa Barbara LOL Comedy Festival is back (Oct. 8–17) for a second round of amazing comedy performances. Highlights last year included laugh-out-loud performances from Brad Williams, Jay Mohr, Kirk Fox, Andrew Dice Clay and Rachel Bradley, to name a few. I can’t wait to see what they’ve got up their sleeves for 2015.
