Ballston Exchange will host an Outdoor Comedy Night on Wednesday, Oct. 28.

Tickets are $25 for two, and include a complimentary blanket, private viewing spaces for two and a $10 gift card to a Ballston Exchange retailer.

The show starts at 8 p.m. and will feature the comedians Denise Taylor and Lafayette Wright.

Proceeds cover the costs of the event.

In September, Ballston Exchange, a mixed-use redevelopment at 4201 Wilson Blvd., hosted a movie night with the same kind of personal space and blanket setup.

Ballston Exchange is made up of two side-by-side redeveloped office buildings across the street from the redeveloped Ballston Quarter mall that include a “passeo,” or courtyard, between them with storefronts, dining patios, restaurants and public seating. Atlanta-based developer Jamestown LP completed the redevelopment in late 2018.

Jamestown’s other D.C.-area properties include America’s Square, One Metro Center, 700 Penn, Georgetown Park and about 20 Georgetown buildings with retail tenants.

Shares fall in Asia, with Kospi down 5.2%, while oil prices jump

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares slipped Wednesday in Asia after Wall Street pulled further from its all-time high as artificial-intelligence stocks resumed their decline. South Korea’s Kospi led the regional retreat, dropping 5.2% to 6,515.97. The two biggest companies benefiting from the AI boom tracked losses for their U.S. rivals. Samsung Electronics shed 6.9%, while memory chipmaker SK Hynix tumbled 7.9%. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 sank 2.6% to 65,703.78. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong lost 0.4% to 25,382.66, while the Shanghai Composite index shed 1.5% to 3,927.70. Taiwan's Taiex fell 1.4%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.4% to 9,083.70. Apart from renewed jitters over criticism that AI-related stocks have shot too high, rising oil prices also were clouding market sentiment.
