The mayor will take part in the skits and a special musical number. He’ll be joined by local comedians Kenneth “Jestkinni” Austin, Stephanie Calero, Chris “Bird” Culotta, Marielle “Mighty” King, Gloria McConnell Passman, Will Merrill and Jay Thibodeaux.
The “Saturday Night Live”-inspired event was first performed in March 2023. Subsequent sold-out shows were presented at the Boomerang Comedy Theatre and Manship Theatre’s Hartley/Vey Theatre, as well as at Cité des Arts, Lafayette, and Library Riot, Lake Charles.
