What is “Laughs With Legends™”?
Purpose & Goal
Laughs With Legends is a platform for legends to share their experience with fans and show we can all get along (except for a few rivalries, you know who you are).
Events & Parties
Our events and parties offer valuable marketing prospects while also allowing us to champion our legends and their charitable endeavors.
The Show
Laughs with Legend comedy show is comedy with a sports twist that is constantly evolving. You never know what you will see or hear next. Have you ever seen a 6′ 7″ man try to convince you that he was a cheerleader or in a serious production of Cats? It goes way beyond amusing! Special shout out to Blobby!
