“In the midst of the challenges of life, there are days when we just need some encouragement. Some fresh perspective to keep moving forward in the journey of faith. So we’d like to bring some encouragement and laughter through comedy theatre. We’ll perform a series of sketches that highlight some of those challenges, but also bring to life some of the mystery and gains of leaning into the presence of God; the surprise places where grace and love show up to give us strength for the journey. Laughter is good medicine.” -Carol Anderson, Acts of Renewal

Last Wednesday of every month is the Queer Comedy Party at Different Wrld in West Asheville!!! Modelface Comedy brings you the best queer comedians from all over the South followed by one of the wildest drag shows in town! This month all funds from the drag show will go to the ACLU in TN to fight idiots.

Comedy from Hayley Ellman, Kevin Delgado and Katy Hudson

Drag TBA

Hayley Ellman is a queer improviser, sketch and stand-up comedian out of Atlanta, GA.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution referred to her comedy as “cerebral and sardonic.” She charms audiences with her balance of sincere, satirical, and silly jokes and stories.

She’s 2022 Queer of the Year at the P3 Comedy Fest, performed in The Red Clay Comedy Festival, The West End Comedy Fest, The SF Punch Line, Epic Comedy Hour as well as regularly performing at The Laughing Skull. She’s performed internationally in London and Toronto. She’s opened for Rory Scovel, Alex Hooper, Daniel Van-Kirk and Jenny Zigrino. She is a Guinness World Record Holder for being part of the longest comedy show. If you haven’t seen her perform around the Southeast US then you’re most likely to have seen her on BounceTv or TruTv: being pranked by a magician on the Carbonaro Effect as, embarrassingly, her episode is one of their favorite reruns.

The New York Times opines, comedian Taylor Tomlinson “demonstrates tight joke writing, carefully honed act-outs and a ruthless appetite for laughs” in her second hour-long special, Look At You, now streaming on Netflix. New York Magazine adds, “Watching Tomlinson gives you the same comfort as a Swift concert or a Broadway show that’s been on for years. This is a professional. This performance will be ultra-produced. You do not need to be anxious,” and the Los Angeles Times observes, “Even when she’s navigating painful waters, she can’t help but find the humor… her wit and pinpoint delivery reveal both an incisive writer and also a talented actor.”

Filmed last December at the historic Wilbur Theater in Boston, Look At You is an evolution of the Forbes’ 30 Under 30 star’s Quarter-Life Crisis that debuted on Netflix March of 2020. Her first hour-long special went on to be named “Best of 2020” by New York Times, Decider, Paste and earned unanimous critical praise with the Washington Post calling her “your favorite quarantine-watch” and Newsweek dubbing her “undeniably hilarious.” With appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS This Morning, Kelly Clarkson and more, the woman Mashable calls “whip-smart and spectacularly cynical” and Variety Magazine names a Top 10 Comics to Watch is currently headlining her nationwide theater tour, Deal With It.
