(LIMITED TICKETS 15 presale 20 day of show tax included)
Our very special headliner this month is Katie Farrell!!
Katie isn’t your typical comedian. She’s the bold, brash, and hilarious voice you didn’t know you needed. Growing up in Seabrook, NH, Katie learned early on how to turn life’s hardest punches into raw, honest humor. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as a teen, she’s no stranger to pain—but she’s also no stranger to perseverance. (last time she brought the house down- don’t miss this comedy genie!)
Featuring all the way from Boston is Stirling Smith!!
Stirling is celebrating 12+ year of stand-up. She was the first woman host of one of the longest weekly open mics in Boston (2012-2018) at improvBoston, which had been running consistently for almost 3 damn decades. Now, she’s been on “Stories to the Stage” on WGBH & was a founding member of the 50+ improv group called Elderberry Jam & has been the co-host of the March Madness comedy contest the last several years, for the Brain & Behavioral Research Foundation celebrating its 20th year in 2026.
The rest of our brilliant performers:
KATY MOON 🌕 -Katy Moon! Katy is a recovering Irish Catholic with a background in addiction, guilt, and small-town Maine—so basically she came pre-loaded for stand-up. She grew up in Bangor, where feelings go to die, and has been thriving ever since escaping to Portland. She started doing stand-up comedy a year ago and quickly realized therapy is cheaper when strangers clap. Her comedy pulls from sobriety, survival, identity, and the slow unraveling of religious trauma, all delivered with warmth, bite, and impeccable timing. She’s currently writing her first special, My Life Is a siiiick Joke, which is less a title and more a medical diagnosis.
MALCOLM HOLMES - Malcolm is like an acid trip on Mitch Hedburg. He is silly, witty, and is a pal. His dry delivery and slick puns hit audiences like bullets of laughter. Good luck remembering one! 💥
& Special guest MALIK TAMBWE! Malik uses his humor as an immigrant and outsider for his dark, witty, charming and unique style. Catch him while he’s still humble.!
MICHELLE LISI hosts!
Michelle Lisi Michelle is a Jewish feminist comic, poet, mother, icon and educator dedicated to disassembling the patriarchy, one bro at a time. Part goofball, part cynic, Michelle is a regular on line ups for Gals & Pals and Misfits shows in Portland. SHE ALSO CREATED B/TCH RIFF. Shout out to every fascist who inspires resistance with their tiny hands energy. You’re going down.
Prepare to be captivated by the wit, charm, and raw authenticity of some of the most talented women and a couple of our pals in New England comedy. From hilarious anecdotes about their daily lives to sharp observations on society, these fearless and hilarious mostly gals and pals are ready to unleash their unique perspectives and bash stereotypes with their signature humor.
This isn't just a comedy show- it's a movement! Bring your friends, share some drinks, or non-alcs and kick off the sunset with some memories and laughs.
