Tonight at Lulu's Nightspot, 129 1/2 S. Pugh St., audience members will be given a chance to laugh for a good cause as the Penn State Marketing Association sponsors a comedy benefit.

The event is a live comedy show that will feature four up-and-coming comedians from Pittsburgh and the tri-state area.

"If people are unfamiliar with Lulu's, this event is a great chance for them to see a nightspot with such a great atmosphere," said Louis Orazio, co-manager of the event and member of PSMA. "It is also a great way for people to see live comedians that are becoming recognized in their respective circuits for their talents, and at the same time benefit a great cause."

The event benefits Operation Smile, which raises money for facial surgery on children with facial deformities in third-world countries.

Lulu's will open its doors at 8:30 p.m. for the event, which is scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m.

Tickets will be available at the door for $7 and are accessible for $5 if bought in advance.

Only those who are 21 and over are allowed to attend the event.

"I encourage all who are 21 to come out tonight for three main reasons: to support a good cause, to experience a show that is not typically offered here in State College and most importantly to have some great laughs," said co-organizer and PSMA member Marissa Madiara. "It is a really fun and exciting way to give to children who are in desperate need for a change in their lives."
