Not your average comedy show. Distinct voices, good vibes, and a crowd that gets it as much as you.
About this Event

New to town? Or just looking for somewhere new to take your friends (or make some)?
Join us for a laugh, a drink, and a great time.

Thursday nights at Olive & Arrow are a little different. We bring the most unique comic voices to the stage in an always fun, always low-key stand-up show. The crowd comes early, stays late, and comes back week after week.

On Thursday, April 24th, one of our favorites is in town to run his hour JUST for our crowd!

Headliner: Will Purpura
Will Purpura is a NY-based comedian who’s been performing all over the East Coast for the past decade. High energy and improvisational, Will’s comedy is upbeat and offbeat! He’s performed on PBS, at the Altercation Comedy Festival in Austin, and the North Carolina Comedy Festival. In 2023, he won the A-List Comedy Competition in Atlanta.

Also on the lineup:
🎤 Kevin Seefried — Sirius XM, Album "Kevin Seefried (Live at Kelly's Irish Times)"
🎤 Caitlin McDevitt — Rhizome Comedy

Here’s the vibe:
Every Thursday, we turn Olive & Arrow — a cozy speakeasy tucked beneath Kelly’s Irish Times — into a warm, weird, and welcoming comedy hang. There's a full bar with amazing cocktails, a crowd that's up for anything, and a rotating cast of comics that do stand-up their own way.

The show is free, the people are friendly, and no two shows are ever the same. Whether you come solo or with friends, you’ll end up chatting with strangers like you’ve known them for years. Come once, and it’ll probably become your new Thursday ritual.
