It’s time for some funny faces and laughs. Break out the masks, hats, or costumes (optional), for the Tuesday, Oct. 23, WeHaHA! Comedy Night at World of Beer.

“This month we welcome Doug Key, Dr. Jay Sutay, and Josh Levinson, plus a special appearance by Dr. Donny Annicelle,” noted comedian and host of WeHaHA! Comedy Nights Paul Gregory. “This series of comedy nights are made possible in part by Dr. Steven A. Fischman Orthodontics, who has also taken the stage on occasion to show his comedic chops! I’m not sure what the connection is between doctors, dentists and comedy, but I guess it shows we all need humor in our lives!”

Guests will get their money’s worth because in addition to the featured comedians, you’ll hear new jokes from Dr. Fischman and Paul Gregory!

Tickets are available on Eventbrite or via the Facebook event page for a suggested donation of just $20 ($22.85 with Eventbrite fees). Tickets are usually available at the door, but seating is limited, so advance registration is encouraged.

In keeping with the “doctor” theme, the featured act Jay Sutay is dubbed “The Hardest Working Pediatrician in Comedy.” Dr. Jay Sutay is a frustrated pediatrician from South Windsor, CT, who brings his tales from the exam rooms, his experience working with kids and their parents, as well as his own tribulations as the father of two daughters to his stand up comedy. His cutting and sometimes incisive commentary about society, parenting, and raising kids, has left audiences laughing.

Dr. Jay Sutay began doing stand up comedy in 1983 while attending Fairfield University.

Also featured is Josh Levinson, an up-and-coming stand up comic who has performed in clubs and bars all over New England. Software engineer by day and and comedian by night, audiences enjoy Josh’s unassuming demeanor as he turns his insecurities into punchlines. Whether he’s lending his sense of humor to the popular blog Between Two Rocks or performing on stage, he gives you more than the typical IT guy next door. Josh is able to laugh at himself in a way that is infectious and gets you to laugh along with him.
