“Laughter Works Like Medicine”
Comedian Don Friesen is coming back to the Historic Yuma Theater!
After packing the house in March, nationally acclaimed comedian Don Friesen is coming back to the Historic Yuma Theatre for another night of side-splitting comedy you won’t want to miss! Merry Heart Inc. proudly presents the return of “Laughter Works Like Medicine” on Saturday, June 14, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
And because it’s Father’s Day weekend, admission is FREE for all dads!
Friesen’s first Yuma performance left the audience in stitches – and tickets sold out quickly. Now’s your chance to catch his high-energy, laugh-out-loud comedy live on stage once again.
Known for his Showtime one-hour special, Ask Your Mom, Don Friesen delivers a clever, fast-paced act filled with personal anecdotes, hilarious voices and physical humor that connects with audiences of all ages. Whether he’s riffing on suburban dad life or poking fun at our ever-evolving world, Friesen’s humor is smart, relatable, and wildly entertaining.
