BETHLEHEM, Pa. — It may be the first time in nearly a half century that the audience at Godfrey Daniels consistently laughs at a headline act.

Godfrey Daniels, the venerable folk music club in South Bethlehem, will offer its first headline comedy show in its 48-year history at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 30, according to organizers of the just-announced show.

Topping the bill will be Kate Hughes, a finalist on the 2019 season of the comedy competition "Standup NBC."
