National touring comedian, Paul Hooper, a Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival favorite will be headlining the show. Paul Hooper hits the stage with thought provoking, politically incorrect comedy that slams society and himself with absolute irreverence. An only child with OCD, Hooper channels his dysfunction into a cathartic harangue. He has an undeniable likability, and this young comic plays it to the hilt as he rants non-stop through his routine, winning over any judgmental people who could be shocked by his outrageous take on life. This native of Charlotte, North Carolina, now residing in NYC, has been featured at the HBO Comedy Festival in Vegas, the Boston Comedy Festival, Michael Moore and Jeff Garlin’s Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival, the Vancouver Comedy Fest and was a finalist in the 30th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition.
Other first class performers include
Grayson Morris, Alex Joyce, Cary Goff, Justin Thompson, Fay Canale, Jason Webb, Minori Hind, and Slice Girl Kelly Rowe.Slice girl, Michele Scheve will be the master of ceremonies.
