FIRST Team Entropy Hosting Comedy Night This Weekend

Souhegan High School’s FIRST Team Entropy 138 12th Annual Comedy Night will be held on Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Souhegan High School Auditorium at 7 pm.

This is the Team’s primary fundraiser to support participation in the FIRST Robotics Competition.

Tickets for this year’s Comedy Night are $20 at the door, or $15 in advance. Advance tickets are available from team members, or by email at roboticsteam138@gmail.com.  

Four comedians will headline this year’s line-up of talent, while select members of the robotics team will launch their own acting debut in a skit written and directed by Dave Brooks.

This year’s comedy line-up features Mitch Stinson, a former aircraft-carrier aviator with a unique insight into the transition from hot-shot Navy pilot to everyday civilian life; Chris Pennie, a lifelong bachelor and full-time single dad who’s finding humor in every day life; Taylor Connelly, who has built his comedy career our of his Irish Catholic roots; and Jimmy Whitman, whose laid-back comedy style brings audiences to life.:

A bake sale and silent auction will also be held during the event offering not only a night of laughter, but also great food and fantastic deals from area merchants.

Souhegan’s FIRST Robotics Team Entropy 138 participates in a national robotics tournament operated by US FIRST in which teams of high school-aged youth design and build robots to complete a set of prescribed tasks. The project combines computer programming, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering into a team-based competition.   

FIRST was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. Based in Manchester, NH, the not-for-profit public charity designs accessible, innovative educational programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills.
