New Haven Register (New Haven, CT)
On the bill:
D.L. Hughley, Adam Ferrara among acts in the region
If you’re mindful and keep a mask on when you’re not sipping or chewing, you can enjoy a few laughs and a good brew or food without being reckless in this tough time. We hope.
In Bridgeport, popular and outspoken comic D.L. Hughley is scheduled to perform six shows in four days at Stress Factory Bridgeport,
167 State St., from Thursday to Sunday, Oct. 22 to 25.
Masks are required when not seated. Tickets are for table seating — $80 for two, $160 for four, $240 for six.
There is a two-item minimum per person, which can
be any two items that Stress Factory sells. Times vary; see bridgeport.stressfactory.com.
