Popped Collar Comedy Show (FREE)

About a year ago I asked if I could start a comedy show at the cafe on my block. A few hours before showtime, me and some friends rolled a bunch of tires down the street for a makeshift stage. And it worked. There have been over forty(!) shows, and I’m psyched about every lineup I put together.

NO COVER NO DRINK MIN. Beer and wine bar

Host: Andrew Manning

Andrew is a comic from Western Connecticut who performs regularly around the city and back home. He is also the roast champion of his hometown scene. He’s a white trash nobody so comedy is really all he’s got.

Lineup-

Pedro Salinas:

Growing up a sensitive genius orphan in the conservative small town of Jews, Confederate Flag, it was always Pedro’s dream to do comedy on television. After achieving this goal in 2015 with his two-minute appearance on the regional cable access stand-up showcase “Laughs on Fox”, he retired at the peak of his worldwide success and adulation, and now delivers master classes on the comedy craft in New York City and Philadelphia. Behold his Twitter and despair: @salinas_pedro
