Andrew Rudick is a nationally touring stand up comedian, writer and actor. One of the fastest rising comedians in the Midwest, his comedy can be heard regularly on SiriusXM and his debut comedy album opened near the top of the Apple Music charts. Combining a midwestern charm and high-energy absurdism, Rudick’s stand-up is a frequent hit both on stage and across social media on Tik Tok and Instagram. His relatable energy also earned him an appearance on HGTV’s “Design Fails.”

Rudick also loves Fleetwood Mac and doesn’t care who knows it.

Comedy at Catawba: Emily Walsh + Jill Weiner
May 12 @ 9:30 pm
Catawba Brewing Company - South Slope

Every Friday Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This week is Emily Walsh and Jill Weiner from NYC!

Emily Walsh

Emily Walsh is a comedian who performs nightly in bars and comedy clubs across New York City. Originally from Boston, MA, Emily moved to New York City after college to pursue her dream of painting scenery for theatre, film and television. She still paints sometimes because comedy doesn’t provide health insurance. Emily was recently featured on Kevin Hart’s Lyft Comics on Peacock. Her festival credits include HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, West End Festival in Atlanta, Boston Comedy Festival, the Out of Bounds Festival in Austin, and the Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Newport, RI. She cohosts the podcast Alone at Lunch, part of the Morbid podcast network on Wondery, and hosts and coproduces a monthly show at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn called Golden Ticket. Her mom is very supportive of her comedy, and really wants her to write a tv show called “Lady Seinfeld.” So look out for that.

Jill Weiner

Born in Atlanta, GA, matured in San Francisco, and now residing in New York City, Jill Weiner is a comedian and writer. Jill’s jokes appeared on NBC, and most recently Jill was a finalist in Houston’s Riot Comedy Festival. She also participated in the New York Comedy Festival, placed second in the Trial by Laughter Comedy Festival, and performed at the Boston Comedy Festival. She co-produces and co-hosts a weekly, standing-room-only comedy show in New York called Laf Dance Saloon, and is the first female champion of the New York City based roast battle, Comedy Fight Club.

She performs nationally and can be seen regularly at New York Comedy Club, Stand Up NY, and slurping soup at New York’s hottest diners.
