Lil Rhody Laugh Riot, Rhode Island's new four-day comedy festival taking over Providence from March 27 - 30 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium.
Anchored at the legendary Veterans Memorial Auditorium (The VETS) in Providence and branching out to stages across the city, including the Providence Performing Arts Center and RI Comedy Connection, this multi-day comedy showdown will deliver a symphony of laughs, unfiltered mayhem, and razor-sharp mic drops.
In conjunction with the Lil Rhody Laugh Riot, the inaugural Providence Culinary Collective will take place the same weekend in various locations across the city. Presented by the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau (PWCVB), this first-of-its-kind food and wine festival will honor Providence's culinary legacy while reflecting the city's brand - modern, inclusive and cool.
