Boston-area comics are gather for a benefit Saturday night.
Late on the Night of October 14th 2006 Paul Rudeen, Jr. was killed by a drunk driver on Interstate 495 in Wrentham Massachusetts. Paul was a young aspiring stand-up comedian. As a tribute to his comedic vision, members of the Boston comedy community have organized a benefit show to be held in his honor. Proceeds of the show will go to the Massachusetts chapter of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). The show will be held on Saturday May 19th 2007 at the Auburn Elks Lodge. The Elks Lodge is located on Route 12 just on the right side of the road 7/10th of a mile south of exit 10 on the Mass Pike. Doors will open at 7:30 and the show will start promptly at 8:00.
