Elm Street Launches Monthly Comedy Series In-Person, Online

WOODSTOCK, GA — Earlier this year, Elm Street Cultural Arts Village debuted a new monthly stand-up comedy series for audiences in-person and online called “The Lasting Laugh.” Hosted by Jessica It’s All Good, this serial comedy show will be featuring Atlanta’s favorite clean comics and not so clean comics who just cleaned up for this show. Designed as a series, there will be a new set of comics joining Jessica every month. Audiences can come in-person with a limited amount of socially distanced tickets or enjoy the show right from home with a digital livestream ticket option.

“We are excited to bring a more regular stand-up comedy series home to Woodstock," said ElmStreet’s Production Manager Brian Gamel. Comedian, DJ, and actress Jessica It’s All Good is no stranger to Elm Street, having been involved in the organization’s educational programming and various comedy shows. "We’ve seen how much our audiences love the 'Last Laugh' competition, and we wanted to bring them that same fun energy both in person and from the comfort of their own homes. We are so excited to be able to partner with Jessica again for this series full of excitement and laughter for the whole family.”

“I'm super excited to be a part of Elm Street in this new way,” Jessica It’s All Good said. “It
has been so wonderful being the host of 'The Last Laugh' competition for so many years. When
the pandemic hit, I was devastated by all the comedy opportunities I lost. Then the theater and I
started talking about doing a regular show that is pandemic-friendly and there was born 'The
Lasting Laugh.' Not only do I love that it is streaming, so people at home can still enjoy the
beauty of comedy here at Elm Street, but I also love that it is an opportunity to be a part of the
theater on a more regular occasion and to give more comedians work. I am not the only
comedian who is devastated by the loss of work during the coronavirus epidemic. So this is a great way to keep people entertained as safely as possible. We are ready to make you laugh, and I think it's safe to say that we all need it.”

Each show is a one-night event in-person that streams for two full weeks afterward. “The Lasting
Laugh” is recommended for ages 12+ due to content. Audiences in-person or online will enjoy
constant laughs from unexpected guest comedians. Concessions, Reformation beer, and wine
will be available for purchase via seat-side service. Elm Street Cultural Arts Village is closely
monitoring COVID-19 outbreaks as well as spikes and is working diligently to ensure proper
social distancing guidelines are met for the health, safety, and comfort of audience members,
volunteers, and the artists. Elm Street’s full guidelines can be found online.

Tickets are on sale now and will not be sold at the door. The last show was on Feb. 13, and is streaming through Feb. 27.
