Inspired by their hometown hero, Lucille Ball, a Western New York town is getting ready to open the U.S. National Comedy Center.
The $50 million centre opens in Jamestown August 1st.
On its website, it describes the more than 50 exhibits that will be featured that " take visitors on an interactive journey through comedy history, from early vaudeville acts to the latest viral memes."
Comics Amy Schumer, Lily Tomlin, and Saturday Night Live alum Dan Aykroyd will help open the new facility, which also coincides with the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival.
