Superb Networking Opportunities and Great Entertainment

COMEDY NIGHT BENEFIT FOR THE AED FOUNDATION
Brand New at 2012 Summit
Joey Voices is one of America's top and most unique entertainers! Like a chameleon changes colors, Joey has the uncanny ability to change his voice to sound like the celebrity singers such as RobStewart, Neil Diamond, Tony Bennett and even Cher!

The AED Foundation Comedy Night Benefit will also feature Gross National Product (GNP) Comedy Group, Washington, D.C.'s "Comic Monument" that makes headlines hilarious. (San Francisco Chronicle). If it's political, it's been fair game for this political satire group, dubbed a "comedy feast" by the Wall Street Journal. The Washington Post called them "breathlessly fast and funny...the longest running, most successful sketch troupe in Washington."

Tickets: $95
All proceeds benefit the AED Foundation workforce development and professional education programs.
