GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Gilda's LaughFest announced on Friday that there will be another Matt Bellassai show added to the festival's line-up. 

Bellassai's March 8 and 9 shows are currently sold out, but another one has been added for Sunday, March 10 at the Pyramid Scheme. Bellassai is best known for his weekly show "To Be Honest" on Facebook. 

LaughFest also added a new show featuring three Latino comedians, Nick Guerra, Ramon Rivas and Aida Rodriguez. 

Amanda Seales is a comedian, actress, writer, producer and more. She has performed stand up across the globe and has toured colleges doing comedic lectures on sexism, diversity and relationships to black popular culture.  Seales is known for taking serious topics such as racism, rape, culture, sexism and police brutality and making them relatable and interesting through her stage and screen content.

Additionally, the Seriously Funny Family Adventure Challenge is scheduled to return to the March 7-17 festival. It welcomes families and friends to race across areas of downtown Grand Rapids in a scavenger hunt like challenge.

Returning this year is LAUGHsketball on Sunday, March 17 at the DeltaPlex. The free event will kick off with pre-game fun at 3pm followed by a 4pm tip off. LAUGHsketball is a family friendly game of basketball where comedians take on local celebrities. At the game will be a chicken toss, face painting, dunk tanks, silent auction, mascots and some seriously special guests. Admission is free for all ages.

People and Pets, also returning, will take place on Sunday, March 17 at 10am at GRCC Ford Fieldhouse. Bring your furry (or not so furry) pet to celebrate how funny pets can be. There will be contests for best pet trick, best look-a-like and most unique pet!

Tickets for both shows are on sale at laughfestgr.org, ticketmaster.com (search LaughFest), and the Van Andel Arena & DeVos Place Box Offices.
