Survive The Polar Vortex This Winter By Escaping To Kingsmill Resort
Kingsmill Announces Its Second Annual Comedy Weekend January 27-29
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – December 16, 2016 – Beating the polar vortex is more pleasurable with a good
laugh and a cocktail in hand. This January, Kingsmill Resort will laugh off the cold by staying cozy with its
second annual comedy weekend, Jan. 27-29, featuring some of the nation’s funniest comics. Watch a
clip from last years show here.
The comedy shows will run Friday and Saturday from 8 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. with reserved table seating, a
full bar and limited food menu. Guests may purchase tickets by taking advantage of Kingsmill’s Comedy
Weekend Package, which features two-night accommodations in a resort guest room, tickets for both
nights to the comedy show, full breakfast at Elements 1010, and of course access to all of Kingsmill’s
amenities, including its heated indoor pool. To purchase tickets separately, an overnight stay is

The master of ceremonies for this year’s festival year will be the talented Sid Davis, the self-dubbed
“Ohio farm boy turned airline mechanic turned comic,” who made his debut on the nationally
syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show. Comedy legend Joan Rivers, looking for an opening act, viewed
Sid’s debut and told her manager, “He’s terrific! I want him!”
The laugh line-up includes:

Tony Deyo: A rising young talent, Deyo is known for his sharp, quick material and near perfect
