All proceeds will benefit the educational exhibits and programs of the Children’s Museum. Start off the fall season right by having a few laughs and supporting a great cause! This adults only fundraiser is hosted by Nick Yousif, featuring Mark Scalia and more local talent!

Headlining the event is Mark Scalia, a twenty-four year veteran of the Boston comedy scene has entertained tens of thousands of people across the United States and Canada. Mark has been invited to many comedy festivals all over the country. Most recently, his comedic acting work has broadened to the on-camera world, including independent films, television shows and numerous commercials both in New York and New England. He is also an in demand teacher and director, working with Boston University Center for Digital Imaging Arts.
