Our MC for the night!
Howie Mason:
Our MC for the night - While working as a Little League umpire for $7 a game in 1983, Howie got his first taste of being yelled at by inebriated adults. While working as a comedian for a ziti dinner and a drink ticket in Rhode Island last weekend, Howie got his most recent taste of being yelled at by inebriated adults. It is quite a life he has carved out for himself. Howie has brought his reasonably smart brand of humor to the biggest venues in the area including Comix Mohegan Sun, the Bijou Theater and the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA.
Scott Higgins:
He is a comedian, show producer and podcaster. He has been a New England staple for over 20 years, starting stand up in 2002, he quickly became the go to act for many clubs. In 2014, he started producing his Comedy All Stars show at the Bradley Playhouse that sold out in its second year of shows and continues today. In 2020 the Comedy All Stars started running in multiple theaters. The Behind The Funny Podcast was launched by Scott in 2017 and Ace Aceto joined as co-host. With great chemistry between the hosts and excellent guests, Behind The Funny has built a loyal fan base and was nominated for a Boston Comedy Choice Award in 2024. Behind The Funny can now be heard on Ground Control Radio weekdays at 10 am EST. Constant improvement and never resting on the past is how Scott continues to work today. His everyman relaxed style draws an audience in, then keeps them. His family based observational humor is fresh but familiar to us all.
Darren Rivera:
“The Rice and Bean Joker,” Darren Rivera has been cracking up audiences for over two decades, leaving his mark everywhere from packed comedy clubs to colleges across the U.S. A Bronx native who survived adolescence in Bucks County, PA, Darren honed his razor-sharp wit on the streets and stages of Hartford, CT. His sarcastic, observational style has earned him wins like WCCC’s Last Local Comic Standing and a runner-up spot in Funniest Comic in New England.
Darren has shared the stage with comedy heavyweights like Jo Koy and Ali Siddiq, proving he can hold his own with the best. Whether he’s roasting small-town quirks or breaking down the chaos of family life, Darren’s high-energy sets leave crowds wanting more.
