Comedy Night Live returns Tuesday

Set a reminder with Siri for Tuesday, Oct. 6, when Rossmoor Comedy Night Live returns, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Drag yourself, or come in drag, to the Hillside complex and boldly open the door to the Performing Arts Studio. It feels like fall, so take time walking in the golden twilight. Those autumn leaves can be slippery; be-leaf me.

It’s October, and orange is all around. There’s no avoiding it. The world is a pumpkin, and everything we eat can be pumpkin-flavored. So wear your best autumn-colored clothing, and everyone can meld together into the glow. Studies have shown that orange makes people happier, so give it a try.

This event, on the first Tuesday of each month, is part of the Rossmoor Night Live Club, whose mission is simple: Keep us living fully, laughing loudly, and staying up past 9 p.m. – on purpose. Or drop in for $5 – no commitment, no pressure, no remembering next month. It’s the best deal around, and no prescription necessary – because laughter is the best medicine. Warning: This event may be addicting.

Comedy Night Live is led by Stephanie Singer and welcomes brave souls who want to try standup comedy. Sit-down comedy is also an option. Amazing Rossmoor comics keep performing like pros. New people who “might go up” but need one more glass of courage, are encouraged to drink up the laughs.

No judgment. No booing. We’re seniors. Tell favorite off-color jokes; especially orange-colored ones. Political incorrectness accepted. This is a good night to tell scary, spooky Halloween stories.

Remember your best disguises, and costumes that fell apart too early. One request: Limit yourself to three minutes. If you’re really good, you’ll get an encore. If you’re not so good… the audience won’t have to suffer very long. Everyone is invited to watch, as an audience is needed for clapping and laughing. We all know that laughter is the best medicine, and no prescription is required.
