If you liked them on TV, you’ll love them on the road. “LAFF MOB Presents” was a hit on Showtime, so they’re taking the funny on the road this spring hitting several stops hopefully in a city near you. All the Laff Mob comics Red Grant, Rudy Rush, Roz G, Mark Viera and Alex Scott are on board and will be serving up the laughs at various venues around the country. Bob Sumner, the man who brought you HBO’s Def Comedy Jam is also behind Laff Mob, with producer and manager Arthur Spivak. “I’m really excited to introduce the best of the next generation of Comedy All-Stars,” Sumner says.
Here’s a little more about the Laff Mob comics:
