Comedians Raise Money With Laughter

This weekend, Brattleboro will be treated to the first in a series of variety shows that aim to entertain and raise money for cultural organizations in the Brattleboro area.

The organization behind the effort is called The Hatch, and its drawing performers and comedians who are well known beyond Vermont. One of the organizers is Tom Bodett, is a regular panelist on “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.”  Another is Rich Korson, also a Vermont resident, who used to be the executive producer of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report.

On Saturday “The Hatch” is presenting its first show at the Latchis Theater, called “Take A Seat,” and the proceeds will help pay for replacing the seats in that theater.

Tom and Rich spoke with Vermont Edition about the lineup for Saturday’s show.
