Students share laughs at comedy show run inside local house

Laughter is the best way to fight the blues away, or at least that’s what mathematics senior Tom Gannon says. Gannon is a comedian and the founder of the comedy show, 825 Albert Comedy. About once a month, Gannon and his friend Pat Hoban, rearrange the furniture in Gannon’s living room to host the free comedy show. “Comedy is like a relaxed form of art and if it’s good people don’t have to work too hard to feel it,” Hoban said. Around the time of each show, Gannon and Hoban make funny, sarcastic fliers to put up around campus.
