You can eat, laugh and help a worthy cause all in the same evening when the popular Comedy Club at The Landmark Resort's Carrington Pub & Grill in Egg Harbor will host a benefit show for the Door County Maritime Museum on Thursday night, Feb. 25.

Comedians Bob Jay and Sharon Lacey headline the evening which begins at 6:30 with a buffet dinner to be followed by the show at 8:00. The price of the dinner and show is $20.99 per person. A sailor's hat will be passed for a freewill donation to support the museum.

Jay brings dozens of celebrities and cartoon characters to life in his stand-up performance. He also has mastered numerous sound effects from jet fighters to crashing locomotives and crafted them into a show that has been compared to Billy Crystal and Rich Little. Meanwhile, much of Lacey's comedy comes from her experiences as a former middle school teacher. She freely admits that keeping audiences laughing is a lot more fun that breaking up fights between adolescent boys.

For reservations call the Maritime Museum at 920-743-5958 or the Landmark Resort at 920-868-3205

This is a special offering in The Comedy Club series which regularly runs the second Thursday of the month, November through May. Visit www.thelandmarkresort.com for details on upcoming shows in the series.
