The Community of Archangel Michael Church in Port Washington, NY recently hosted comedians, Greek-Canadian Angelo Tsarouchas and Greek-Australian, Jim Dailakis. The show sold out with over 475 people attending, enjoying an amazing night of laughter, food, dancing, and above all else, fellowship. The gymnasium was transformed into a banquet hall with a sea of tables, chairs and people roaring with laughter at the comedians that entertained them for the evening. At various points, people wiped away the tears from their eyes and felt their bellies ache as the comedians joked about the shared experiences that only Greeks can relate to. In the crowd was our own Greek Meteorologist Nick Gregory, who announced the raffle to benefit Camp St. Paul.
