Give mom a laugh for Mother's Day. Jason's Comedy Night is not your typical stand-up comedy show. Former KOOL 101.7 radio DJ Jason Jones brings pizza throwers, impressionists and even an accountant who pokes fun at his profession.

Jones is the master of ceremonies of the event.

"I bring entertaining people together and let them do what they do best," said Jones. "I'm glad to be back in Duluth and look forward to seeing familiar faces."

The comedy night will feature 5 acts, live music and dinner for $35.00. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and will be served at 6:00 p.m. with live music by Andrew Crowley. The show starts at 7:00 p.m.

Saturday, May 12th, at Barker's Island Inn.

Travel with the "Hot Air Ensemble" as they explore music, cultures and traditions from around the world, in a special program at the Duluth Public Library on Tuesday, April 24 at 11:30 a.m. in the Green Room. Admission is free.
