It’s sure to be a fun, entertaining night for all,” said Brett Tallents, Fulton Lions president. “Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the show starts at 8:00 p.m. There will also be a 50-50 drawing and a raffle for a ticket in our next Lions Loot Sweepstakes.”

“Our headliner, Milo Johnson, had our audience in stitches last year,” said Linda Hughes, event co-chair. “He’s originally from the Baltimore area and lives here in Fulton. We can’t wait to see what material he’s developed for this year’s comedy night.”
Becky Wiggins, the opening act, is from Rome, and she has been doing stand-up comedy for two years. She has opened for Pinky Patel, Karen Rontowski and other comedians across upstate NY. “With shows at The Funnybone, Fat Katz, The Uptown and the Kallet, I keep very busy,” Wiggins said. She competed in the Syracuse Clash of Comics on Sept.1 and she hosts an open mic night in Rome as well.
