Comedy Zone Brings Leighann Lord to Lake Placid for a Night of Stand-Up Gold

On Saturday, February 28, 2026, the Annex at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts transforms into The Comedy Zone, welcoming one of the most seasoned and sought-after comedians working today: Leighann Lord.

The show begins at 7 pm, and if winter in the Adirondacks calls for a little levity, this is the place to find it.

As part of The Comedy Zone—one of the country’s largest comedy club networks—the Arts Center Annex will deliver a polished, club-style comedy experience right in the heart of Lake Placid. Expect sharp writing, tight timing, and the kind of big-city stand-up energy that keeps audiences laughing long after the snow boots come off.

A headliner with serious credentials.

Leighann Lord brings a résumé that reads like a greatest hits list of American comedy. A seasoned, NYC-based stand-up comic, she has appeared on Comedy Central, HBO, The View, and in the Netflix Def Comedy Jam 25th Anniversary Special. She has performed for U.S. troops in the Middle East and entertained audiences in all 50 states, 20 countries, six continents—and Guam.

She has earned national recognition as one of the “35 Most Hilarious Comedians of Diversity,” landed as a national finalist in the American Black Film Festival–HBO Comedy Wings Competition, and received the NYC Comedy Award for Most Thought-Provoking Black Female Comic. Viewers may also recognize her from Showtime’s Even More Funny Women of a Certain Age or her Dry Bar Comedy special, I Mean Business, which has surpassed one million views.

In short: she’s the real deal.

Smart, fearless, and laugh-out-loud funny.

Lord’s comedy blends intelligence, social insight, and razor-sharp observational humor. She tackles topics ranging from relationships and aging to politics and pop culture—with warmth and wit. Her style feels conversational yet commanding, thoughtful yet punchy.

For Adirondack audiences accustomed to live music, theater, and winter sports, this event adds a fresh layer to Lake Placid’s arts scene. A winter weekend getaway becomes even better with a nationally touring headliner delivering stand-up at this level.

Whether visitors plan a ski day at Whiteface or a cozy dinner on Main Street, this show provides the perfect capstone to a February evening in the High Peaks.

Greg Owen will open the show.

The show will also feature Greg Owens, a comedian who moved from Philadelphia to Western New York to raise his family. He has been entertaining audiences with his unique and humorous perspectives on suburban life, teenagers, and middle age ever since.

Greg has opened for several well-known comedians, including Bobby Collins, Kevin Pollak, Bobby Slayton, Jimmy Shubert, Rich Vos, Craig Conant, Jay Mohr, and many others.

An intimate venue, big laughs.

The Annex at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts offers an intimate setting that brings audiences close to the action. Unlike arena shows, this format creates a true comedy club feel—where every raised eyebrow and perfectly timed pause lands with impact.

For locals and visitors searching for the best events in Lake Placid in February 2026, The Comedy Zone stands out as a top pick. It combines nationally recognized talent with the charm and accessibility of a hometown arts venue.

Tickets are expected to draw strong interest, particularly given Lord’s national profile and the popularity of comedy tours in the Adirondacks during winter weekends.
