Organizers of Gilda's LaughFest say Thursday that headliners include "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah and "Girls Trip" breakout star Tiffany Haddish.
LaughFest 2018 is scheduled for March 8-18. Noah performs March 10 at the Gilda's Club Grand Rapids Signature Event at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids. LaughFest will include more than 200 free and ticketed shows at more than 40 venues in Grand Rapids, Lowell, Wayland's Gun Lake Casino.
