From a press release:
North Carolina native comedian Paul Hooper at The Millroom, Jan. 16
Comedian Paul Hooper, a North Carolina native and nationally-touring comedian, brings his R-Rated comedy show to Asheville at The Millroom for one show on Friday, January 16th.
This native of Charlotte, North Carolina, now residing in New York City, 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.
An only child with OCD, Paul Hooper channels his dysfunction into a cathartic harangue. He has an undeniable likability that he plays to the hilt through his bullet proof rants.
A seasoned headliner, Paul has performed in forty one states and ten countries, including two armed forces tours. HIs debut solo album, “Tense and Uncomfortable” was released in October of 2013 with Stand Up! Records, and is available on i-Tunes.
Opening for Paul is Caleb Synan out of Atlanta, GA. Caleb Synan’s act is a rare blend of Southern charm and razor sharp wit. As a homeschooled preacher’s kid who lives in Atlanta, his unique and hilarious perspective of the South, his parents, and the world at large is both smart and relatable. Caleb has worked with the likes of Donnell Rawlings, Brian Posehn, Joe Rogen, and Todd Glass.
Paul is replacing the previously scheduled comic Shane Mauss, who had to cancel his date. Shane is looking to reschedule his date later in the year.
Friday, January 16th @ 7:00pm
