Monday Night Entertainment:

Cindy Arena

Get ready to laugh with Cindy Arena — Rochester’s own stand-up sensation, pizzeria legend (yes, she’s behind the viral pickle pizza), and proud mom who proves boomer humor never goes out of style.

She’s been crowned Rochester’s Funniest Person, popped up on HBO’s Game Theory, and is known for turning everyday chaos into comedy gold. Cindy brings sharp wit, real-life stories, and the kind of laughs that’ll have you texting your coworkers, “You had to be there.”

Buckle up — Monday night is going to be anything but ordinary.

This year’s Theme: Hold on to your Hat.
—because today is all about
Energy & Connection!
Show up with your favorite hat & let’s get things rolling.
