If you missed N.C. Children's Hospital's inaugural Promises of Laughter Gala last April, don't fret! The N.C. Children's Promise will present the second annual Promises of Laughter Gala on Saturday, April 26, with honorary hosts, Jean and Woody Durham.

 

Designed to raise awareness and support for the Children's Hospital in a unique and fun environment, the Promises of Laughter Gala is guaranteed to be a memorable and fun evening for all who attend. Highlights of this black tie, Venetian Carnival-themed evening include an elegant cocktail reception where roaming entertainers, including mimes and impersonators, will make guests feel young at heart again as they enjoy the evening's festivities.

 

Victoria JacksonA formal dinner will follow the cocktail reception, after which attendees will be treated to "promises of laughter" as nationally-recognized comedienne Victoria Jackson takes the stage. You know Victoria and her "ditzy blonde" persona from her six seasons on Saturday Night Live and over twenty appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Today, Victoria is a favorite on the American comedy club circuit, still performing her trademark “handstand poetry” and playing her original ukulele songs. It's sure to be an unforgettable night!
