Belly Laughs

News flash: scientists now believe – no joke – that laughing can burn calories. What fashionista wouldn’t want that?

Get a good workout from your personal trainer, Sarah Silverman at the Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival. She’s headlining the closing event, held at Washington DC’s 930 club on October 25.

Also on the bill: a live taping of the Jesse Thorn Sound of Young America radio show (held at the Renaissance Washington DC Penn Quarter Hotel), a cake and champagne event hosted by Warren Brown of DC’s Cakelove, and comedy performances by Mary Patton Oswalt, Todd Barry, and Tig Notaro.

Shameless plug: the events are sponsored by Renaissance Washington DC Penn Quarter Hotel, and are guaranteed to fill up quickly. So get your tickets, and get ‘em early.

UPDATE: Sarah Silverman and crew hanging in the lobby of Renaissance Hotel. Thanks for the laughs.  Looking forward to next year.
