Open Auditions for Comedy Show

Gilda's Club in Hackensack is seeking local comedians, amateur or professional, for their 12th annual "Laugh-Off" in honor of Gilda Radner, the late Saturday Night Live performer for whom the organization is named.

The clubhouse on Main Street will be turned into a comedy club on both March 23 and 30 to audition comedians for the final show at Bananas Comedy Club on April 14. 

“Gilda’s Club is extremely excited to be hosting our ever so popular Laugh-Off event for the 12^th consecutive year,” said Board President Ruth Dugan. “It’s not only a wonderful community event that provides local comedians with an outlet to showcase their talent; it’s an opportunity for our members and friends in the community to share some good laughs in the spirit of Gilda Radner.”

Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey is a "cancer-support community" providing support groups, events, lectures and workshops to those touched by cancer  – men, women, children and teens – and are completely free of charge.

There are limited audition spaces and contestants need to register in advance by submitting a five to 10 minute video or DVD of their performance by February 28 to Stephanie Buonarota at Gilda's Club who can be reached at 201-457-1670 ext. 123.
