Gilda’s LaughFest begins at 6 p.m. Thursday with headliner Justin Willman and continues through Sunday.
The virtual festival, presented by Gun Lake Casino, will have 30 events, along with social media content and contests, much of which will be free. A $40 premium pass allows access to all four headliners.
Willman is a magician and comedian who is the host of the Netflix show “Magic for Humans.” The night will include “The VIP Comedy Show,” an improv comedy roast and in-depth interview at 6 p.m.; “No Laughing Matter,” a discussion about how even in the worst times, there is something funny to talk about at 8 p.m.; and “You Have Two Minutes: Brian Kelly’s Favorite LaughFest Portraits,” where guests can view the work of LaughFest’s official photographer and his time photographing headliners during the festival’s first decade.
