JAKE HOVIS
Jake Hovis is huge. Seriously, he is 6’8” and well over a hundred pounds. His comedy, like the air in his hometown of Denver, tends to be clean and fresh. Jake is a high school teacher who works out new bits during class. He has a solid background in improv performing in front of paid audiences of adults 144 times in 2025 (He kept a spreadsheet). They described him as “funny” and “big”. Jake enjoys the little things in life like his 5’3” wife and 2 miniature dachshunds.

What to expect:
• A curated lineup of 5–7 local comedians
• Fast-paced stand-up sets
• A hosted show (not an open mic)
• A welcoming, intimate room built for comedy
• Drinks, good vibes, and a packed house

Come support local artists, laugh way harder than you planned, and help build something special in Lexington.

Seats are limited and these shows tend to fill up — grab tickets early.
