It’s July and time for some laughs at the Voco Hotel that you’re sure to love!
Making his first appearance to the Voco stage is one of our longtime friends, funnyman Jay Hewlett. Jay has appeared on Comic View on BET, the Boston Comedy Festival, the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals, the Sunscreen &amp; AOF Film Festivals.&nbsp; He performs regularly in Los Angeles at the Comedy Store, the Improv and the Ice House. He plays clubs and colleges across the country, and you’ve seen him on The Showtime Comedy Club Network, as Phil the Photographer on NBC’s California Dreams, and in Touchstone Pictures Krippendorf’s Tribe.
Joining Jay on Thursday July 23rd is the very funny Lisa Gilbert!&nbsp; Lisa started her stand-up comedy career in her hometown of San Diego, CA. Marrying late in life and being a mother of 9-year-old triplets makes her both inspirational and an instant crowd favorite with her clean comedy style and family-friendly jokes. She has opened for internationally known comic Michael Jr., performed for the American Troops, and just filmed a Dry Bar Comedy Special. Lisa travels nationally speaking for churches and corporate events.
Rounding out the evening of laughter is&nbsp;the hilarious Linda Marcus Smith. Linda discovered comedy later in life. She can often be found strolling the Vegas strip in a prom gown bringing light and fun to the scene. Linda runs her own veteran comedy shows and training classes for military and veterans. She hosts an award-winning show “The Comics’ Spot” on YouTube where she has interviewed more than 500 comics to date.
Our night of comedy on July 23rd will be hosted by the hilarious John Liu. John is a first-generation Filipino-Chinese stand-up comedian and actor based in Southern California. Known for his sharp wit and energetic style, his comedy centers on the everyday experiences of growing up as an Asian American. He frequently performs at and hosts shows across SoCal, including events in Orange County and the Los Angeles area.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, July 23rd&nbsp;at the Voco Hotel in Laguna Hills as we keep the comedy train rolling full steam ahead!

Power Pulse WB-EMS Studio Opens in Ladera Ranch

Power Pulse EMS Personal Training

Ladera Ranch residents looking to optimize their fitness routine have a new local option focused on high-efficiency, technology-backed training. Power Pulse WB-EMS Personal Training Boutique Studio has officially opened its doors in the neighborhood, offering personalized whole-body electromuscular stimulation sessions designed to maximize workouts without the need for traditional, heavy gym equipment. The studio utilizes advanced Wiemspro technology, a wireless electromuscular stimulation system that delivers targeted impulses to deep muscle layers during a specialized movement routine. This method allows clients to achieve a level of muscular engagement and metabolic conditioning that is difficult to reach through conventional training alone, all while keeping impact minimal and protecting the joints. Every session is fully customized and led by an experienced professional with decades of background in fitness coaching and movement science, ensuring that each workout matches the exact goals and fitness level of the individual. Power Pulse operates independently as a dedicated private studio space, providing an alternative to crowded commercial gyms. The environment is designed to be highly focused, private, and efficient, appealing to busy professionals and residents who want to streamline their wellness routine. The studio is open from 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM to accommodate early morning and evening schedules. Because training is conducted on a strict personal coaching schedule to maintain privacy, availability is organized by matching specific windows to client needs. To learn more about personalized training sessions, explore membership options, and check current availability, visit the scheduling profile at https://www.vagaro.com/powerpulseemstraining.
