“I try to keep it simple. . .to me that is the funniest material, everyday humor that we can all identify with. My style is not about embarrassing and degrading people or one-upping the audience. I’m simply trying to make people laugh. If people are laughing, then they are having fun. . .if they are having fun, I am doing my job and earning my money,” said Hodgdon.

All proceeds from the show will continue to support local veterans programs to include homeless veterans shelters, displaced veterans and families of wounded/disabled veterans.
