Ages 18+ FULLY SEATED SHOW
Ostensibly a hilarious stand-up show about the blowjob, Get on Your Knees is also an unexpectedly philosophical, coming-of-age tale of triumph. A break-out hit off-Broadway, audiences returned for repeat viewings across multiple sold out runs in NYC. This New York Times “Critic’s Pick” earned Jacqueline a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance. Jacqueline has since toured the show nationally and internationally. This tour is the very last chance to see Get on Your Knees live.
“Brilliant…”- The New York Times
“Clearly her masterwork.” – New York Magazine
“An overthinker’s delight… – The New Yorker
“The true subject of Get on Your Knees is language and its beautiful, delusional attempts to make amends for human finitude.” – New York Review of Books, by Andrea Long Chu
“In a moment when the boundaries between high and low culture have all but dissolved, Novak has found one of the few remaining tensions to play with.” – Paris Review
“The jokes are tremendous.” – Natasha Lyonne for Interview Magazine
“It was a staggering show.” – Miranda July
“…as if Andrea Dworkin and Spaulding Gray had a child they made listen to only Moms Mabley and read only Mary Oliver.” – Jeremy O. Harris
“I howled the whole time.” – Amy Sedaris
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen the Muhammad Ali of comedy.” – John Mulaney

Andie Main is a comedian born and raised in Portland, OR. That got to be annoying, so in 2019 she moved to Denver and got off to a running start right before the world crumbled. The best timing of her entire life was releasing and touring for her album, released by Blonde Medicine Records, titled Magpie, in January of 2020, which went to #1 on iTunes. The second best timing of her entire life was going sober in September of 2021, which has given her a bullshit-free mindset, moments of pure joy, and intermittent existential despair.
Andie is known for her brash, acerbic, political, and sexual style of comedy, as she tours the country with international sensation Mr. Dave Hill, and as a headliner in her own right.

Hosted by Morgan Bost. Morgan is an Asheville based comic capturing the playful and often painful parallels between adolescence and “almost-adulthood.” Vibrant yet vulnerable; her high-energy storytelling is influenced by her background as an improviser. She co-hosts a weekly comedy open mic called “The Hot Seat,” and writes a monthly humor column, “Best Medicine with Morgan Bost,” for the Mountain Xpress. She’s opened for Rob Delaney, Beth Stelling, and has appeared in several breweries and discount grocery stores across Western North Carolina.

FULLY SEATED SHOW
Originally from Baltimore, Scott Seiss has racked up hundreds of millions of views across TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter with his “Angry Retail Guy” videos. He’s headlined comedy clubs across the country and, notably, has opened for Patton Oswalt, Joe Gatto, Roy Wood Jr., and Josh Wolf. He was also recently cast in the upcoming Universal feature film Cocaine Bear directed by Elizabeth Banks. With a sharp, silly, and energetic sense of humor, Scott combines everyday observational comedy with a lot of yelling about how men should sit down to pee, and, of course, customer service.

Every Sunday evening Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country
Having grown up working in his folks’ Memphis BBQ restaurant, Charlie Vergos is 100% Southern on the surface, but his erratic attention span, piano playing and wandering years spent in the comedy scenes of Memphis, New Orleans, Cape Town, Chicago, Brooklyn, and now post-pandemic Memphis have developed his act into a colorful rambling far more vibrant than a simple regional cartoon.
Since starting stand-up in 2009, Charlie has worked at The Onion, performed in clubs all over the country and several comedy festivals, including the Limestone Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull, 10,000 Laughs, and a full run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022, among several others. His debut album, Barbecue Rich, debuted at #1 on Apple Music in June 2020.
