Looking for something that tickles your funny bone? Here are some Midcoast comedy events to get you rolling on the floor this April.
Comedy Salon visits Wiscasset
On April 10, Aekeir Brewing in Wiscasset is hosting a special pop-up event, Mae’s Comedy Salon, with a curated selection of Maine comedy talent featuring Bill Tebbets, Matt Dundas, Nick Gordon and Adam Groppman.
Tebbets will present his take on the challenges of a roadblocked adulthood, while Dundas blends his dry and intelligent bits on modern parenthood and never being a real Mainer. Groppman emerged from the Los Angeles comedy scene and now performs in New England for venues big and small, and Gordon has frequently performed around Vermont and Maine.
Tickets range from $15 to $17.85, and performers will start taking the stage at 7 p.m. The Comedy Salon will return to Mae’s Cafe and Bakery in Bath for monthly shows starting in May.
Comedy on Tap in Freeport
Mast Landing Brewing Co. in Freeport will feature comedians Mark Masters from Denver and Alex Giampapa from Boston, hosted by Mo Awale, at 7 p.m. on April 17. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. with tickets sold for $20 in advance or $25 at the door.
Masters is a published author of the book “Not Good Yet: Lessons From the First Six Months and One Hundred Performances of a Denver Open Mic Comedian,” and has performed comedy festivals across America.
Giampapa has been performing stand-up comedy since he was 19. He has featured in comedy festivals like The Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Rhode Island, The Boston Comedy Festival, and The Big Pine Comedy Festival in Arizona.
It will be the brewery’s biggest night of comedy with food provided by Freeport-based Nighthawk’s Kitchen.
Second-hand embarrassment with creeps and weirdos in Brunswick!
Headliner Cindianna Jones will lead a troupe of comedic performers for an adults-only comedy night inside Tonic at Bolos.
Come see comics Cari Keniston, Michelle Lisi, Ashley Favreau, among others.
Lisi is a Jewish comic from New York living in a haunted house on the Midcoast, and Keniston is a public transit aficionado who will share their comedic experiences. Favreau is a Maine native, cutting her teeth in the local comedy scene and recently featured at the Portland Maine Comedy Festival.
Ticket discount sales end on the day of the show, April 25. Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m.
