(March 4, 2016) — They will make you laugh and then they will make you laugh even harder. Ten videos have been selected as the finalists for the first-ever Concordia Comedy Festival.
At 7 p.m. on March 18, these students, represented from Memorial Park, Central Lutheran, Carroll, Bishop Dwenger and Concordia Lutheran High School, will vie for the top slot in the middle and high school categories. The showing, which is free and open to the public, will be held at the Cinema Center, 437 E Berry St., in Downtown Fort Wayne.
