From a press release:

Last year, a national poll was released that resulted in Scranton being named one of the most depressing cities in the nation. Comedian and Scranton native Kevin Lepka didn’t take too kindly to that poll; he was determined to turn Scranton’s frown upside down. With the absence of a Scranton-based comedy club, Lepka created Laugh Out Lepka’s Comedy.

Now Lepka has booked one of his biggest shows yet – a night of comedy with Gilbert Gottfried, known for his dirty jokes, distinctive voice work, and numerous television and movie appearances.

The show will take place at the historic Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel (700 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton) on Friday, March 6. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets will be $35 for general admission and $500 for VIP tables of eight that come packaged with a meet and greet group photo with Gottfried.

Lepka will be the emcee for the evening, with guest performances by Alan Dudeck, Delmer Von W, and Sergio Marzitelli. The featured acts will be John Walton and Half & Half. Lepka, Von W, Marzitelli, and Walton have all performed at the NEPA Scene Open Mic Nights, held every Tuesday at 7 p.m. at The Woodlands Inn in Wilkes-Barre.
