SUMMARY:Third Thursday — No Rest for the Joyful: A Night of Jazz & Stand-Up Comedy
DESCRIPTION:No Rest for the Joyful is an evening that leans fully into laughter and sound as acts of survival\, community\, and celebration. Curated as a night of jazz and stand-up comedy\, the program brings together three dynamic comedians\, one musical guest\, and one poet for a multidisciplinary experience that honors joy as both inheritance and resistance — a reminder that delight has always been a radical act. \nThe evening unfolds as a deliberate gathering\, one that holds space for the full range of what it means to be alive right now. Each performer brings their own voice\, their own story\, and their own relationship to joy — whether through the precision of a well-timed punchline\, the improvisational freedom of jazz\, or the quiet devastation of a line of poetry that lands exactly where it should. \nCome ready to feel something. Come ready to laugh. Come ready to rest — not in stillness\, but in joy. \nRegister Here
