Electric City Axe Throwing Comedy Night

Ladies, make a plan for you and your girl posse to break from the worries and stress of life to throw some axes and then listen to some jokes. The ticket price includes an hour of free time to throw axes and then a stand-up comedy show featuring comedians Jeannine Luby and Mary Rapach. You are welcome to bring your own wine or beer and snacks.

When Jeannine isn’t chasing squirrels off her birdfeeder, she promotes laughter through wellness programs using Laughter Yoga and creates content for her marketing/communications clients. And sometimes she thinks of jokes while she’s trying to breathe and run at the same time.

Mary was recently voted NEPA’s Funniest Comedian…for good reason! They are a co-founder of Scranton Improv and teach improv and stand-up comedy workshops there as well as perform. Mary has performed stand-up and improv comedy throughout NEPA and beyond and has served as the charming and hilarious emcee of many drag shows at The Ritz Theater.
