Comedian Brad Upton headlines a fundraiser for the Richland High graduation party March 2 at the Shilo Inn Hotel in Richland.

Tickets cost $30 and are available at the hotel or Ariel Gourmet & Gifts, 617 The Parkway in Richland, or at the door.

Upton is a Richland High grad and former Pasco school teacher who gave up teaching for the comedy circuit 20 years ago. He'll be performing his standup routine later this month in Singapore and Hong Kong.
