This year’s event will feature Jared Freid, a NYC comic who’s been featured on The Tonight Show, MTV and Comedy Central. His latest stand-up special, 37 & Single, premiered on Netflix to rave reviews and quickly rose into the Top 10 most-watched shows in the U.S. and Canada. We hope we can join us! 
This year’s Laugh It Up moderator is Aaron Shapiro, a high-energy host and aspiring stand-up who’s opened for events featuring Leo Messi, Derek Jeter, and Jordin Sparks. A former in-stadium host for the Florida Panthers, Major League Lacrosse, and the NCAA, he brings quick wit and energy to every stage.
