Music Mountain’s comedy show to benefit underserved youth

Posted

International headliner Aidan Park returns to Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179, Lambertville, N.J., at 7 p.m. March 26, for its second Comedy Club Night.

In addition to being seen as Leo Bloom in the Music Mountain production of “The Producers” last year, Park is an award-winning stand-up comedian and best-selling author of the book “The Art of Being Yay.”

He has two comedy specials on NBC’s Peacock and Tubi, has been featured on Comedy Central, NBC, HULU, Entertainment Tonight, TV Guide Channel Here TV, and is also a regular at comedy clubs including the Hollywood Laugh Factory and The Hollywood Improv.

Park is the founder of the Yay Foundation, which focuses on empowering young people through the power of comedy and storytelling.

“YAY! Comedy Show” tickets are $20, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Yay Foundation.

The foundation’s goal is to bring hope and strength to young adults ages 14-24 in underserved and disenfranchised communities negatively impacted by mental health issues such as addiction, suicide, depression and hopelessness.

The Yay Foundation seeks to achieve this through empowerment training focused on building confidence and improving self-worth through research-backed tools and strategies, arts programming designed to help build confidence and foster communities, connecting individuals with trained facilitators for mentorship, and creating localized communities of empowered thinkers to encourage hope, optimism and empowered mindsets.

As part of the foundation’s mission, Park will hold classes for several adults and young adults who will join him onstage during the March 26 show.

Tickets can be purchased by visiting musicmountaintheatre.org, in person at the box office, or by calling 609-397-3337.
