With the spring showers and sun in full effect, you may have noticed a few Farmers’ Markets popping up on the weekends.

Start the weekend off with a laugh as Comedian Reverend Bob Levy takes the stage at Puck on Friday night at 7pm. One of the funniest, most irreverent comedians on the circuit today.
