The Fulton Lions Club has announced that they will be hosting their 5th annual Mane Event comedy night with nationally known comedians Moody McCarthy and Paul Kozlowski on Friday, October 20, at the Fulton Polish Home. All proceeds raised will benefit community members in need.

“This event has been very successful for us and the community. It’s sure to be a fun, entertaining night for all,” said Michelle Stanard, 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.”

He has written and appeared on The Jon Stewart Show, The Chris Rock Show, Comedy Central’s Gong Show, MTV’s Idiot Savants, Fox Sport’s Ultimate Fan League, Exit 57 with Stephen Colbert, Ellen, The Wayne Brady Show, and HBO’s Mr. Show. Kozlowski has also made appearances in the movies Punchline, Shakes The Clown and Call Me Lucky.
