Comedian Ari Shaffir to Perform at The Grey Eagle Friday, January 5th @ 7:00 PM & 9:30 PM
Ari Shaffir, host and co-creator of Comedy Central’s This is Not Happening is set to perform two shows in Asheville, NC on Friday, January 5th.
Ari Shaffir
Stand-up comedian, podcaster and actor ARI SHAFFIR describes his comedy as a puppet show–but way filthier and without the puppets. The New York native grew up Orthodox Jewish, spent 2 years in a yeshiva in Israel, and came back to America to lose his religion and become a comic. LA Weekly has called Shaffir “a gifted unyielding comic…a real force to be reckoned with.”
This July, Shaffir released two Netflix specials called Double Negative which is presented in two 45 minute episodes called Children and Adulthood. Self-described as his version of a “Smashing Pumpkins Double Album,” this type of double header release hasn’t been seen since George Carlin’s 1972 release of FM & AM. In Children Shaffir discusses the pressure he is getting from his family and friends to have kids, and why he is getting more and more thoughts in his head about why he doesn’t want to do that and in Adulthood, he discusses the freedoms of being child-free. Decider.com called Shaffir’s Netflix debut “positively audacious.”
A gospel brunch New Orleans Style with specialty bloody marys and mimosas plus live jazz and gospel music that benefits Loaves And Fishes. Tickets are $40 and include all-you-can-eat tastings from some of Greenville’s best restaurants! All proceeds from this event stay local and help us continue our mission of rescuing food and reducing hunger in Greenville County!
When spring arrives in Spartanburg, it can only mean one thing – it’s time for a fling! This year, tens of thousands of people will converge on downtown Spartanburg for Spring Fling, April 27-29.
There are surprises on every corner, whether it’s a stage filled with non-stop entertainment or new attractions. The festival features four stages, offering everything from entertainment options for the little ones in the Family Fun Zone to national entertainers.
In addition, each year Spring Fling includes a wide variety of food and market vendors, special attractions like the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Criterium cycling race, and our Family Fun Zone for the kids. There’s definitely something for everyone at Spring Fling!
Project Host is thrilled to announce the 9th annual BBQ Cook-off & Festival, and we want you to be there! The Festival will be held April 27th and 28th, 2018 by the Reedy River at 320 S. Hudson Street. In conjunction with the South Carolina BBQ Association and the City of Greenville, we will be smokin’ at the site of the future park near the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The festival will include an “Anything Butt BBQ” competition, a Barbecue and Rib Cooking contest and great family entertainment including live music, food vendors, beverages, and games for kids. Admission is free and tasting tickets are sold at the festival. All proceeds benefit Project Host.
Celebrate spring in the Smoky Mountains with a free, family-friendly event in the Nantahala Gorge. Don’t miss the NOC 8 Ball Race and gear raffle, demos, and specials at NOC’s Outfitter’s Store.
This year’s Spring Fling will feature a carnage-filled 8 Ball competition! We will run competitors in heats of six from the NOC Founder’s Bridge to the Old Highway Bridge on the NOC Campus. There will be three 8 ball paddlers scattered along the course trying to stop the racers progression downriver. We will take the top competitor from each heat and run them all against each other in the final heat to determine the top 3 paddlers and champions of the NOC Spring Fling 8 Ball Race. The awards ceremony will take place after the final heat is completed.
