Friends,

We want to thank you for the love and support we’ve received during this chaotic time and truly appreciate the understanding that’s been shown as a result of Laugh Boston temporarily closing our doors. We are monitoring the developments with COVID-19 on a moment by moment bases and in light of the most recent determinations regarding the timeline of an effective flattening of the curve, we believe it is in everyone’s best interest to confirm that all April performances will either be canceled or postponed.

Many have messaged us directly asking how they can support Laugh Boston during this time of uncertainty, and we cannot express enough gratitude for this show of support. While we will not have tickets to upcoming performances on sale at this time, we will still offer the sale of Gift Cards that can be applied to all upcoming performances once they resume. 

Additionally, a portion of all the proceeds from Gift Card purchases will go directly to a fund established to support local comedians who have been left without the ability to support themselves through their passion. We’ve already seen such a phenomenal response from the comedy community in coming together to support comedians and performers in the form of sharing their content, joining their Patreon pages, and starting crowdfunding initiatives. We believe that this community is more of a family and we plan to do what we can to support each other as such.

For those that wish to show their support for local performers in a more substantial capacity can visit No Rest for The Wicked Funny.

Again, we truly appreciate your patience and understanding during these extraordinary times and look forward to welcoming you back to Laugh Boston in the near future. Please stay safe and thank you for your support.

Thank you,

Laugh Boston

Friends,

In response to the ongoing developments regarding COVID-19, we at Laugh Boston believe that it is in the best interest of our patrons, employees, and performers to close our doors until further notice.

Ticket holders for upcoming performances will be contacted directly via email by our box office in the event that the performance has been canceled or postponed to a later date. Additionally, your purchase will automatically be placed into a credit held under your NAME and the ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE for which it was purchased. This credit can be applied to any future show at Laugh Boston once live performances resume, at which time you will receive an email alert explaining that Laugh Boston has reopened. If you are satisfied with the credit, no action is needed until you receive an email from our Box Office stating that we have reopened. Otherwise, refunds will be issued for ticket holders who would prefer that option.

Questions regarding refunds or exchanges for canceled events can be directed to boxoffice@laughboston.com. We can assure you that all requests will be met, but we ask for your patience as we are currently experiencing an increased volume of incoming communication due to recent events. Information regarding cancelations or postponements will be listed on our homepage www.LaughBoston.com and you can also follow us at @LaughBoston for additional updates.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during these extraordinary times and look forward to welcoming you back to Laugh Boston in the near future. Please stay safe and thank you for your support.

Thank you,
Laugh Boston

As we all know, laughter is the best medicine.

Actually, that’s not true. It’s penicillin.* And vaccines. Vaccines are definitely more effective than laughter. And handwashing. Seriously.

While we, as a society, deal with the very real and very serious coronavirus / COVID-19 situation, the Laugh Boston family wants to make sure you know that, while we are comedians, we are taking every precaution to make sure that our venues are safe for patrons, performers, and employees. To that end, following the proposed guidelines from the World Health Organization, we are undertaking the following measures:

We have increased all janitorial services, including the frequency and level of cleaning of the public spaces in our theatres.

Our seats are being disinfected before and after every performance.

Hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes are available at our venue.

We recommend that anyone not feeling well stay at home. If someone in the theatre is presenting symptoms, they will be respectfully asked to leave the premises.

We encourage all patrons, as well as our own staff, to take the standard precautions, including frequent and thorough handwashing to prevent the spread of any flu-like illness.

Signs regarding proper hygiene practices have been placed in all restrooms.

If you don't feel comfortable attending a show you've already bought tickets for, we'll be happy to exchange your tickets to be used at a later date, whenever you're ready to leave the house again.

We here at Laugh Boston understand the serious nature of the Coronavirus. We also know that humor is an incredibly important way for all humans to deal with anxiety and stress. We employ humor in times like these, not to minimize the threat or risk of this or any other serious matter, but to help us all cope with an uncertain and unprecedented situation. Laughter reduces stress and worry, and reminds us that we are all in this together.

The Laugh Boston family will face this challenge with humor and grace, and we want you all to know that our doors are still open if you need a small respite from the worries that surround us. So remember, while laughter might not be the very BEST medicine (It’s penicillin) it certainly is an important addition to your medicine cabinet. Also, wash your damn hands.

*Penicillin does not work on viruses. Please take NO medical advice from a comedian. It is bad for your health.
