• Some say laughter is the best medicine, and we don’t disagree! Laugh away the stress with Adam Ferrara, host of BBC’s Top Gear USA, and seen in FX’s Rescue Me and Showtime’s Nurse Jackie. Ferrara is presented by Bonkerz Comedy Productions at The Northern Lights Theater on Saturday, January 13, at 7 or 9 p.m. Find a list of more headliners at paysbig.com/shows.

Some time in a floatation tank might just be the perfect peace and quiet you need after the stress of the holidays.
