First Friday Comedy

Liven up your First Fridays with laughter! Each month, we feature a new line-up of Alaska's best stand-up comedians. Every now and then, we shake things up by bringing a national headliner to join in on the fun.

The last First Friday Comedy show of the year will be taking a grave (get it?!) turn as comedians who are still very much alive but probably want to die get on stage to read their own eulogies! Don't regret not seeing them when you still had the chance!
