DETAILS AND ARTIST INFO:
Kids 'N Comedy, New York's leading presenter of young comic talent, will conclude its 2011-2012 season with "The Horrible History Show" on May 20 at Gotham Comedy Club, 208 West 23rd Street.  Charles I of England sent someone else to marry his wife for him.  Ancient gladiators were mostly vegetarians.  Attila the Hun bled to death from a nosebleed on his wedding night.  This show is devoted to the lighter side of history and features Angela Citrola, Daniel Laitman, Jake Sidransky, Andrew Vatier, David Thompson, Zach Rosenfeld and Ryan Drum.  The first five are graduating from high school and will go on to college in the fall; this is their last show.

Kids 'N Comedy presents monthly shows at Gotham Comedy Club with a turntable of talented teens and 'tweens from the tri-state area.  In the company's shows, each comic performs his/her own material, which is screened to be free of profanity and abrasive or cheap "low" humor (like fart jokes).  They do, however, venture into edgy comic terrain:  politics, getting old, even death.  Laura Weiss wrote in Big Apple Parent, "This kid humor is quirky and often slightly mordant, with a sophistication that belies the comedians' youth.  Plus, these kids are hilarious."The show is at 1:00 PM; the reservations number is 212-877-6115 and online ticketing is available on the Kids 'N Comedy website,
