NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The World Famous Comic Strip Live comedy show in New York is set to break a Guinness World Record for being the longest stand-up show ever.

"Nothing like this has ever been attempted in modern history. This is a one in a lifetime event that will test and push the limit of the spirit of laughter," Club Manager Booker Josh Ravitz said.

The club will reportedly offer free food and energy drinks to audience members throughout the record breaking performance, which begins June 3.

"Like a walk-a-thon or dance-a-thon, our world record attempt will be a super 'laugh-a-thon' raising money for one worthy charity to be selected by the Comic Strip Live," Ravitz said.
