Sometimes you need to a good laugh to get through some of life's most challenging moments. 

 

For those at Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," this year's presidential race has appeared to resemble a circus, which is why a "Convention Sideshow" seemed like the perfect fit for an event ahead of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

 

 

"To get through it, you almost have to laugh," said Steven Kyman of Beachwood.

 

"The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" is preparing for a week of filming in Cleveland before they head to Philadelphia to cover the Democratic National Convention. 

 

Regardless of party affiliation, the free event held at the Red Space on Superior Avenue was created to offer a social, interactive event to add comedic relief to the political atmosphere. 

 

The event includes a "Run For The Border" digital game, a "Yuuuge Wall" that was filled with political artwork completed by Cleveland-based artists, and a whack-a-mole inspired game that allowed people to tackle some hot button issues on the campaign trail.

 

The event will run through Monday, July 18 from noon-5 p.m.
