For a guaranteed night of gut-busting, laugh-till-you-cry merriment, head to Falmouth for a comedy show from Karen Morgan. She was a finalist on Nickelodeon’s TV series “Search for the Funniest Mom in America” and has been cracking people up in comedy clubs and theaters from the East coast to the West. A former trial attorney who is still licensed to practice law here and in her home state of Georgia, Morgan’s humor is downright arresting.
