del.icio.usThey’re best known for fighting Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project, but the leaders of Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn want you to know they can laugh, too.
To prove it, they’ve put together “Laugh Don’t Destroy,” an evening of comedy to raise money for the ongoing legal battle against the 16-skyscraper, hotel, arena and 6,000-unit mega-development (including Miss Brooklyn, left).
The comics, including host Baron Vaughn and stand-up guy Michael Showalter, are already getting into the spirit.
“I will certainly try not to ‘destroy Brooklyn’ with my act,” comedian and Park Slope resident Eugene Mirman told GO Brooklyn this week. “I think Ratner is the only one who actually wants this.”
“Laugh Don’t Destroy,” Feb. 6 at 8 pm at Union Hall (702 Union St. bet. Fifth and Sixth avenues in Park Slope). Tickets are $20 and seating is limited. For information visit www.dddb.net.
