One of the greatest storytellers in the comedy world will be the headliner for Laughfest's signature event and dinner Saturday, March 14.

Laughfest 2020 continues to add to its already stellar line up with the announcement Wednesday morning that Jeff Foxworthy will headline the Laughfest Signature Event, a charity dinner and show set for March 14, 2020 at DeVos Performance Hall.

Individual tickets for the show only will be $75 and tables are available for the dinner and show for $3000. Proceeds from Laughfest benefit Gilda's Club Grand Rapids, which benefits families who have been impacted by cancer.

Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the U.S. The Grammy Award nominee and best-selling author of more than 26 books, is widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s.

Headliners previously announced, include Maria Bamford, Adam Cayton-Holland – “Happy Place,” Ralph Harris, Russell Peters, JP Sears, Miranda Sings and Justin Willman. They will join Jim Gaffigan, who will open LaughFest on March 5.
