Guidon Brewing Comedy Night
Sep 19 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Guidon Brewing

SHOWTIME: 7:00 PM
DOORS: 6:00 PM
BAR OPENS: 4:00

Episode 7 of Marquee Comedy’s Guidon Brewery Comedy Series features 2 never before seen on any of our shows comedians and 2 returning favorites.

SCOOTER FOWLER
Hailing from Inman SC, Scooter’s comedy is a mixture of pure silliness and a little filth. He believes laughter is the best medicine and should be administered as often as possible. There’s truly no-one in the world like the human teddy bear, SCOOTER FOWLER!

GRACE HAUTH
Grace Hauth is a comedian based in Charlotte, NC. She is a regular host and performer at The Comedy Zone-Charlotte. She has opened for Joe Zimmerman, Gina Brillon, and other nationally touring headliners.

JOY WILLS
Joy Wills is originally from Memphis, TN and performs all over the Southeast. She has opened for Jeff Dye, Nick Colletti and several other nationally touring headliners. Underneath her deadpan exterior you will find a charismatic wit and little to no muscle mass.

JAMES BURKS
When you mix goat farming, glassblowing, video game addiction, traveling glass buttplug salesman, alcoholic parents and multiple head injuries into the cake batter of life, out comes a delicious abomination: James Burks

OUTSIDE PATIO SHOW
This is our 2nd outside show on the patio at Guidon Brewing Company. Our first show filled up quickly, yet safely. Our 2nd show is likely to do the same. So come early, bring your friends and enjoy an incredible night of regional comedy!

RATED R
All our shows are 18+.
We feature adult comics, talking about adult subjects
using adult language.
We invite you to come with an open mind and a desire to laugh!
If you are looking to be offended, we can arrange that, too. :-)

Neil Hamburger

For over 20 years, ‘America’s Funnyman’ Neil Hamburger has worked every imaginable stage, from New York’s Madison Square Garden and the UK’s Reading Festival, to a Hollywood cemetery, Tasmanian pubs, and an abandoned monkey cage in a decrepit Catskills zoo.

He has performed countless headlining American, Australian, British, and Canadian tours, as well as shows in Norway, New Zealand, Ireland, and the Bahamas. He has toured internationally as the cherry-picked opening act for Tenacious D and Faith No More.

Neil Hamburger was the subject of the critically acclaimed dramatic 2015 feature film Entertainment, co-starring John C. Reilly, Tye Sheridan, and Michael Cera. Neil’s many TV credits include Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Tom Green Live,and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Among his dozen album releases is Live at Third Man, produced by Jack White in Nashville; an earlier Hamburger effort was included in SPIN’s ‘40 Greatest Comedy Albums of All Time’. His latest LP, the chamber-pop epic Still Dwelling, features guest appearances from Jack Black and Mike Patton.
