Giggles & Gags! A Variety Show benefiting A Special Wish Foundation

On May 15th, The Brightside Event Venue transforms into a special stage for Giggles & Gags, an innovative and family-friendly variety show where laughter leads the way and children's wishes take center stage. This one-night-only show brings together an unforgettable lineup.

Dayton-native and nationally touring performer Matt Stanley delivers his signature blend of comedy and magic, combining jaw-dropping illusions with laugh-out-loud humor. Clean, family-friendly comedian Adam Minnick takes the stage with smart, relatable comedy audiences of all ages can enjoy. Rounding out the night, local music collective Harpoetic sets the mood with smooth, soulful, and funky sounds that keep the energy flowing.

It is the perfect night out, complete with adult beverages served by The Brightside team, Greek Street Food Truck on hand, and a wide-ranging charity silent auction. But the real magic happens beyond the stage. Every ticket, every laugh, and every round of applause helps A Special Wish Foundation of Southwest Ohio grant wishes to local children facing life-threatening illnesses. Proceeds from the event help make wishes come true and create moments of joy, hope, and lasting impact for children and families across Southwest Ohio. So come for the giggles.
