SUMMARY:Brad Williams: The Growth Spurt Tour
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nDoors open 6 p.m.\, show begins at 7 p.m. \nPound for pound\, Brad Williams is the funniest comedian in the country right now\, and has become one of the most in-demand comedians working today. Williams started doing stand-up comedy as a teenager and has been touring successfully ever since\, routinely selling out prestigious venues all over the country and world. \nWilliams has parlayed his live performances into a multitude of stand-up television appearances\, including The Tonight Show\, Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground\, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His first one-hour special\, Fun Size\, was the highest rated special on Showtime\, and a year later\, he followed that up with his second one\, Daddy Issues\, which was even more successful than the first. His third special in three years was an uproarious one\, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. His last groundbreaking special on Netflix\, The Degenerates\, garnered more huge ratings and rave reviews. \nAlso an accomplished actor\, Williams has appeared on numerous TV shows and feature films\, including FX’s Legit\, Sam and Cat\, Mind of Mencia\, Pitboss\, a recurring role on the Hulu original show Deadbeat\, and memorable roles in a plethora of movies\, including Little Evil\, produced by Scott Stuber (Ted)\, as well as the Netflix original Christopher Guest film\, Mascots\, and most recently Reno 911: It’s A Wonderful Heist. \nRecently\, Brad became the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque de Soleil show in their 30 year history\, when he agreed to launch—and do a three month run of—their newest show Mad Apple\, at the magnificent 1200 seat New York New York Theater in Las Vegas. The show became an immediate smash hit to rave revues\, singling out Williams for his incredible ability to captivate his audiences with his extraordinary performances. \nIn addition to stand-up and acting\, Williams co-created and co-hosted one of the most successful podcasts in the world\, with friend and fellow comic Adam Ray\, entitled About Last Night\, which was always a mainstay on the iTunes charts during their five year run. Additionally\, he is also a regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several national radio and podcast platforms\, including KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show and The Adam Carolla Show. \nWilliams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability\, relationships\, sex\, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members; which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.”

SUMMARY:Sunday Story Seven - Storytelling Open Mic with MATT DAVIS and special musical guest JANET SIMPSON
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling Variety Show + Open Mic\nFeatured Storyteller Matt Davis\nStories & Songs with special guest Janet Simpson\nhosted by Becca Rothman \nAct I – Open Mic storytelling. Put your name in the hat for a chance to share a personal\, true story onstage. \nAct II – Our featured storyteller (and critically-acclaimed\, world-renowned comedian) Matt Davis will share a ten-minute prepared story. \nAct III – Stories and Songs with Janet Simpson \nJanet Simpson is a force of intuition. The Birmingham legend has shared her presence as a deep\, patient listener and her fierce power as a singer\, guitarist\, and keyboardist to bands like Wooden Wand (World War IV)\, Delicate Cutters\, Teen Getaway\, and Timber. But on Can I See You Tonight (out soon via Cornelius Chapel Records)\, Simpson’s unmatched prescience is channeled toward her own visions\, expansive yet spellbindingly intimate. The follow-up to her stunning solo debut Safe Distance (2021)\, it’s a wryly observant alt-country tapestry with frayed edges that gesture toward Simpson’s history in DIY and punk scenes. Her talent as a bandleader shines even brighter on this second album as she taps freely into that restless collaborative spirit\, weaving worn-in\, effortless folk rock arrangements with her band. The songs on Can I See You Tonight are haunting stills in time\, shot through with longing – the lyrics haiku-precise\, the band dialed in to one another\, and to Simpson\, her deep well of a voice brimming over. \n* * * * * \nMore details:\nHave you always wanted to tell a story onstage? Or do you prefer to listen while others share? Either way\, join us at the monthly storytelling variety show the Sunday Story Seven.

SUMMARY:Everything Is Great! A Town Hall for the People
DESCRIPTION:Part Town Hall\, Part improvised parody. \nReal issues and questions are fielded by comedians playing the roles of absent elected officials in this improvised live game show version of a TOWN HALL! \nComedians have come together to take the reins of the absurdity of our current political moment and create a hilarious and cathartic town hall event. \nAlabama native and internationally touring performer Matt Davis (MattDavisComedy.com) debuts a brand new show that addresses the current moment head on. \nDesigned in the vein of other Fringe Arts Festival shows Matt has produced\, the format combines interactive elements and improvised lines with an almost game show-esque excitement to parody the spectacle and dismissiveness on display between elected officials and the people they seem loath to represent. \nAn expert cast of improvisers (some of the area’s best) are thrown in the game to represent the absent\, empty chair\, elected officials. Through a series of rounds the comedians lend their voice to the missing officials\, and answer real questions and concerns posed by the audience. But! The comedians must toe-the-line that “everything is great” in all their responses. That is\, if they wish to receive points from our host\, Mr. Dark Money himself. The audience\, however\, is here to win\, too! And they boo and jeer on queue\, amid ridiculous answers\, blatant sponsorships\, redemption groveling\, surprise guests\, and other wild happenings. \nAll together it turns our town hall parody into a hilarious evening of improvised comedy\, and real community catharsis! Grab your civic-minded friends\, or those you think need to be inspired to get involved\, and meet us April 30th at Saturn in Avondale for what we hope is the first of many wild and funny nights. \nMore info can be found on: https://TownHallShow.com
