I know that the cable channel already has the name trademarked, but The Lakeland Center is giving the TV station a serious run for its money lately. If you haven’t noticed, The Lakeland Center has really grown to be one of the top venues for live comedy in the area. Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, Carlos Mencia and Craig Ferguson are the most recent comedy superstars to grace the stage at the youkey Theater, but when you add them to the lineup of comics that will be taking that same stage in the next couple months it is pretty impressive.

January 29 – Vicki Lawrence – 2:30pm and 7:30pm

January 31 – Super Saturday Comedy Show with Craig Gass – 8pm and 1opm

March 12 – Jeff Dunham – 7:30pm

March 21 – Ron White (from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour) – 7pm

April 10 – An Evening with Sinbad – 8pm

Tickets for all these shows are available on The Lakeland Center website or by calling 863.834.8111.
