Hilliary Begley, Moira Goree and Peter Smith-McDowell discuss life as a stand-up comic during a pandemic.
“It feels like a home game,” Kondabolu says of performing in Asheville. “I have a bunch of folks who I don’t have to explain as much to and who are excited that I’m there.”
The Chicago-based comedian performs at The Southern Kitchen and Bar on Saturday, Dec. 23.
“Sometimes people ask me, ‘Are you just trying to get a rise out of people, or play Devil’s advocate?’ … I always say exactly what I think, whether my own audience boos me or not,” says Bill Maher, who will share what’s on his mind at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium Saturday, Feb. 20.
After an inauspicious (but fondly remembered) start in Hendersonville, comedian Joe Zimmerman has built a successful stand-up career based in New York City. His current tour brings him back to Asheville, where he’ll perfom at The Southern Saturday, Nov. 14.
This weekend offers music, comedy, film, animals and outdoors. As always, Xpress brings you the best in low-cost weekend events.
