Comedy Legends and Convention Fun in Hartford
The upcoming weekend in Manchester is looking great despite some humid weather and scattered showers. Our metrics suggest a high signal schedule of events, particularly for comedy fans who can choose between Nate Bargatze, Fortune Feimster, and Martin Lawrence. This is a perfect time to take advantage of the region's large indoor arenas and theaters.
High temperatures will reach the mid 90s all weekend with a chance of drizzle on Friday and Saturday. The best opportunity for outdoor activity is late Saturday afternoon when conditions are expected to be around 93 degrees.
If you only do one thing
Martin Lawrence · Fri 8:00 PM
This is a rare chance to see a legendary comedy icon at a premier regional theater, offering a high quality indoor experience to avoid the humidity.
Tip: Give yourself extra time for security and parking at Foxwoods, as comedy shows at the Premier Theater often draw capacity crowds.
