If in the area and even if not, come to the Traverse City Comedy Festival. The children are having a great time on Front Street. 

Soar above the 100 Block of Front Street and experience downtown like never before on our new zip line. Enjoy this thrilling adventure racing against friends and family, or on your own. Riders must weigh between 60 and 250 pounds. It’s all Free on Front!

This festival has become a welcome distraction when there is little to laugh about in all the snow and ice that is endemic to Traverse City and the surrounding communities.

Fred Willard of "Modern Family" was presented with the TC Comedy Fest Legends Award. He is a very gifted comedian. 

There are plenty of headliners (click here) here including Sinbad and on Saturday young comedians from NYC are going to be in Traverse City for Improv. Fred should couch them while he is in TC.

The Comedy Fest knows how to do right.
