The Women’s Center of Greater Lansing, founded in 2005, will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a comedy show 6 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 15) at Grewal Hall, featuring performances by five Michigan comedians. The nonprofit organization, which provides resources and support to Greater Lansing women and families in need, from career development to mental health services and advocacy, aims to raise funds for its programming and to build a larger center since the number of clients it has served has tripled the past two years in a row. Raffle tickets for donated prizes will be available for purchase, with proceeds also supporting the organization’s programming.
The featured performers include Johnny Mocny, a Lansing-based high school teacher, stand-up comedian, host of the podcast “We Are Movies” and rotating host of the weekly open-mic night at Crunchy’s; Nicole Melnyk, winner of Best Comedian in City Pulse’s Top of the Town contest in 2021, 2022 and 2023; Nardos Osterhart, winner of the 2013 Funniest Person in Grand Rapids contest and creator of the 2019 comedy album “Nice Try,” which hit No. 1 on iTunes; Pat Sievert, winner of the 2019 Funniest Person in Grand Rapids contest and former co-host of Mac’s Bar’s Monday comedy night; and Emily Clark, a 2019 Michigan State University graduate and fresh face in the Michigan comedy scene who may be better known for performing in numerous plays, musicals and improv shows over the last 15 years.
A complimentary dinner will be served. Tickets are $79, plus a $22 service fee, at hall224.com. Groups of eight can use the code “EIGHT” at checkout to save $40. For more information on the show, visit lansingwomen.org/we-laugh-comedy-show.
