Laugh Where You Live

Thursday, October 15, 2026

There is something about laughing hard just a few blocks from home. You recognize faces in the crowd. You run into someone you have been meaning to call. You leave with your cheeks sore and your evening well spent.
That is the whole idea behind Laugh Where You Live: a great night out that never asks you to leave the neighborhood.

Sponsorship

BAPA’s events would not be possible without the help of business partners. We invite you to sponsor one of our upcoming events and enjoy the many promotional benefits that BAPA sponsors receive.
