Gone Rogue - Night of Comedy featuring Jay Chanoine

Gone Rogue Productions LLC is back at the Backyard Brewery with another fantastically funny, Gone Rogue - Night of Comedy. And this time, we're bringing to you, comedian and Derry, NH Native - Jay Chanoine!

Jay Chanoine is a nationally touring comedian whose style has been described as "the comedic equivalent of a toy car that you pull back, then watch it zip out of control and wonder where it will end up." He is a frequent member of The Altercation Punk Comedy Tour, a contributing writer to satirical humor site The Hard Times, and a recording artist for the Stand Up! Records label. His most recent album (2019’s The Texas Chanoinesaw Massacre) was produced by Grammy award winner Dan Schlissel. It debuted at the top of both Amazon and Apple Music’s comedy charts and can be heard streaming on SiriusXM’s Raw Dog Comedy channel.

Named "The Funniest Comedian You Don't Know Yet" on AXS, Jay's high energy performances have been seen opening for national acts like Kyle Kinane, Eddie Pepitone, Myq Kaplan and Sam Jay. He has also been featured at a variety of comedy and music festivals including The Altercation Comedy Festival in Austin, Texas and Pouzza Fest in Montreal. He is currently working on his next album for Stand Up! Records, planned for release in 2022.

Hosted by Mona Forgione, the night opens with comedians Robbie Partridge, Chad Blodgett, and all the way from Maine - Mike Gray!

With 5 surgical procedures, four pets, three kids, two shoulders full of anchors and one retired Roller Derby jersey in her closet, Mona Forgione is a Mombot by day/Stand-up Comedian by night. This Chelsea, Massachusetts native, now unsettled in New Hampshire, first stepped on stage to share her riotous tales after a journey of self-care for a midlife crisis landed her in the surgical center… twice. Now, fully retired from skating, Mona’s focus is sharing takes on her life’s most ludicrous moments “for the greater good”. Where bitter meets motherly, this Stay-at-Home mother of three has gone rogue.

Mike Gray is living proof that a horrible childhood can be turned around into an equally horrible adulthood. He is a Portland, ME based comedian who has been performing throughout New England for about 5 years, although he'd rather not count 2020. It has been said that “he has a clear character” and “...a distinct voice for dark humor.” He was a finalist in New England’s Best Bar Comic competition in 2017 and has competed in Last Comix Standing.

Robbie Partridge began doing comedy in New Hampshire in 2019 when he decided his inner monologue needed to be shared with the world, or more accurately, shared at a burger joint in Somersworth (that’s no longer in business). His conversational/storytelling style has since brought laughter to audiences throughout New England.

New Hampshire native Chad Blodgett has charmed audiences in clubs, theaters, and colleges all across New England, New York, and Portland, Oregon with his infectious charisma and affable attitude. Chad is a man who wears many hats, finding the time to weave his comedy skills into improv shows, hosting pub trivia, and even officiating weddings! Chad’s stand up is reminiscent of catching up with your funniest old friend. This six-time Vermont Comedy Thunderdome champion got his earliest comedic influences from the likes of Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin, and Robin Williams.

Get there early to enjoy dinner downstairs at the Backyard Brewery and Kitchen, then come on up to get your laugh on.
