Spotlight On COMEDY
LAUGH IN LA
Ten years ago, the Lewiston Auburn comedy scene was non-existent. Today, the Twin Cities are not only the comedy hub of Maine, but also known for being a hotbed for hilarity. Home to a plethora of weekly and monthly shows in venues ranging from craft breweries to historic churches, you can stop in and find a variety of local comedians sharing the stage with regional favorites from Boston and beyond.
The Lewiston Auburn comedy scene also offers opportunities for anyone to get started in stand-up. From a beginner’s class offered through Lewiston Adult Education, to workshops and open-mics, there’s no shortage of chances to get on stage, whether you’re telling your first joke or honing a polished set.
