Popular Free Comedy Show Returns to Riverfront in July

A free comedy show, hosted by Easton comedienne Liz Russo and featuring three national headlining comics, will return to the city's Riverside Park amphitheatre on Friday, July 19 from 8 to 10 p.m.

Keith Purnell, Alex House, and Regina DeCicco will entertain what is likely to draw a substantial crowd, as last year's show proved to immensely popular.

Purnell, from Delaware, has been featured by Howard Stern, on "Last Comic Standing", and BET's "Comic View".

House, also an Easton resident, has also been featured on "Last Comic Standing", "The View", and "Ladies of Laughter".

DeCicco, who hails from New York City, has done "Ladies of Laughter" too, as well as been featured on "The Upright Citizen's Brigade" and "Boston Women in Comedy".

The show is suitable for those over 18, and food and drink will be for sale during the event.

Porters' Pub will be providing the refreshments, which will include beer, available to those over 21.

The event is being sponsored by the Easton Mayor's Office of Special Events (MOOSE).

Riverside Park is located on Larry Holmes Drive, just north of the free bridge.
