Denmark Arts Center presents Lakeside Laugh Labs featuring comedian Connor McGrath with opener Leah Douglass at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 12.

Lakeside Laugh Labs is a series featuring some of New England’s best up and coming comedians.

McGrath has performed comedy throughout North America since 2011. He was voted “Maine’s Best Comedian” by the readers of the Portland Phoenix in 2017 and 2018. He has an honest and inimitable style in describing his life as a millennial on the autism spectrum. He was recently profiled by New York Times Best Seller Jeff Pearlman and has performed with Mark Normand and Cameron Esposito.

A recent BBC article noted that men are scientifically funnier than women. That is why Leah Douglass is choosing to be linguistically funnier than men. A high school English teacher and a stand-up comic, she has been wowing Portland crowds with her wordy wit for 5 years.

The Denmark Arts Center is an award-winning 501(c)3 cultural organization founded in 1994 in the rural community of Denmark. Housed in the town’s historic 1883 Odd Fellows Hall, the DAC offers year-round events and workshops in contemporary dance, theater, music and visual art to community members young and old. DAC is at 50 West Main St., Denmark. For more information, visit http://www.denmarkarts.org.
