YOUR HEADLINER: LEARNMORE JONASI
You saw Terry Crews hit the Golden Buzzer. Now see Learnmore live.
With larger-than-life physical comedy, infectious energy and stories about life in Zimbabwe and America, Learnmore became a breakout favorite on America’s Got Talent, finishing in the Top 5 in 2024.
A winner of the Boston Comedy Festival, Learnmore has performed in more than 20 countries. On December 5, he’s bringing that energy to Allentown.
YOUR TOWN. YOUR COMICS.
Before Learnmore takes the stage, get ready for some familiar faces from the Lehigh Valley comedy scene:

Kate Hughes — Your Host
A longtime Lehigh Valley radio personality, actor and comedian, Kate turns relationships, anxiety and everyday disasters into sharply funny stories. If life gets awkward, Kate has probably already written a joke about it.

Doug McHizzle
Inspired by Richard Pryor and a lifelong love of stand-up, Doug has spent more than 15 years making audiences laugh. He’s a familiar face on stages throughout the Lehigh Valley.

Ryan Rossell
A Lehigh Valley comedy regular who’s been making audiences laugh for years. If Ryan seems like he’s trying a little too hard, just ignore him. He’s probably been day drinking again.

Josiah James
The 2026 Allentown Comedy Festival Fan Favorite, Josiah James got his start with Lehigh Valley improv troupe The Associated Mess before taking up stand-up in 2008. A comedian, award-winning filmmaker and host of The Jokes by Jo Show, he’s bringing his love of comedy and community together as the producer of Comedy 4 Cancer, inspired by his mom’s seven-year journey with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
COME EARLY. WE’VE GOT LIVE MUSIC.
Rich and Dave Are Dead kick things off at 6:00 PM.
Grab a drink and food, enjoy the music and settle in before comedy starts at 8:00 PM. Make an evening of it—you’ve earned a night out.
WHY WE’RE DOING THIS
Comedy 4 Cancer started with my mom.
She’s been living with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for seven years while somehow remaining the loudest and most positive person in every room she walks into.
Including chemo waiting rooms.
Especially chemo waiting rooms.
This show is for her—and for every family that has heard someone they love say, “I have cancer.”
We can’t fix all of that in one night. But we can get together, do some good and give each other something to laugh about.
A portion of event proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society, supporting its work in cancer research, patient support and programs for people affected by cancer.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT
Keep the night going at the after-party at the Moxy Allentown, right next door to Archer Music Hall.
