The Arch City Comedy Festival will bring laughter back to the Short North. The second-annual event will open tonight and run through Saturday on three stages in the Garden Theater, plus a new festival venue next door at Barrel on High. “Our festival exposes Columbus to comedians from across the country and generates excitement by bringing in new headliners each year,” said Natalie Heflin, festival co-producer with Mat Alano-Martin.adcelannotate = {"mobilepaywallcategory" : "MOBILE_PREM-LIFE_ENTERTAINMENT","nativepaywallcategory" : "NATIVE_PREM-LIFE_ENTERTAINMENT"};
