Peace Concert Hall

Jay Leno

Acclaimed late-night TV host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, in-demand corporate speaker, lovable voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist… it’s no wonder Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

Leno’s late-night TV ratings domination included more than two decades of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, winning every consecutive quarter he hosted. The Tonight Show was honored with an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Comedy, Variety or Music Series and took home the trophy for “Favorite Late-Night Show” in the annual TV Guide Awards determined by voting viewers. Leno was recently installed in the Television Academy’s Broadcast Hall of Fame.

Having passed the torch of Tonight Show succession to Jimmy Fallon, Leno has increased his customary busy schedule of comedy performances in top venues around the United States and abroad. He also continues his Emmy-winning web venture relating to his passion for automobiles, Jay Leno’s Garage.

Beauty Parlor Comedy featuring Mike Lebovitz 
Mar 12 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Asheville Beauty Academy

Beauty Parlor Comedy featuring Mike Lebovitz

Mike Lebovitz began his comedy career at the age of six with clowning classes at the local JCC. He’s been delighting crowds with his intoxicating brand of wild-eyed humor ever since. Lebo’s irreverent bar-stool philosophy careens from topic to topic like a runaway freight train with dubious couplings. Audiences have described the experience as “spontaneous,” “joyful’ and “slightly terrifying.”
Lebo cut his teeth in Chicago (not as painful as it sounds), where he was a regular at Zanies Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory and Comedy Bar Chicago. He co-founded the popular showcase, Comedians You Should Know, which he brought to New York City in 2016. It has since become the weekly go-to spot to see comedy legends and up-and-comers rock the same mic.
Internationally, Lebo has offended olfatory bulbs in Montreal as a “New Face” of the 2013 Just For Laughs, and he won The Montreux Comedy Festival competition in Switzerland. He’s been featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central, and HBO’s The Deuce. Buy his debut album, TWO SLOB HOUSEHOLD, out now on Stand Up! Records.

Featuring James Harrod and Marlene Thompson

KOUNTRY WAYNE: STRAIGHT OUT THE MUD
Mar 13 @ 7:30 pm
Peace Concert Hall

Kountry Wayne: Straight Out The Mud

Recently named one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch in 2021, Kountry Wayne (a.k.a. Wayne Colley) has garnered a loyal following from his widely popular digital sketches and hilarious standup, generating an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers within the entertainment industry as one of comedy’s most notable rising stars.

Since his first Facebook post in October 2014 went viral, the charismatic comic has amassed millions of followers across social media platforms, where fans tune in daily to his original sketches with cameos from celebrities like Ludacris, Mike Epps, and Lamar Odom.

Keeping it real mining comic gold from the everyday and applying his genius for freestyling, Colley is a master storyteller. A talent that has earned him notoriety among comedians and critics alike – In spring 2021, Colley performed alongside comedy heavyweight Mike Epps on the “In Real Life Comedy Tour” and debuted at #10 of The Hollywood Reporter’s Top Comedian List, which includes Ricky Gervais, D.L. Hughley, and Kevin Hart.

With his humble roots and unbridled energy, Wayne continues to build his audience with cutting-edge yet clean, curse-free material whose appeal transcends all cultural lines

Comedian Michael Palascak
Mar 14 @ 8:00 pm
The Grey Eagle

Comedian Michael Palascak

Michael Palascak is a comedian who grew up in Indiana and now lives in LA. He performed on both The Late Late Show with James Corden and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the same year. He has over 1 million views on YouTube. In addition, his resume includes A Little Late with Lilly Singh, The Tonight Show, Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Conan, has a Comedy Central Half Hour special, and was a Top 5 Finalist on Last Comic Standing where one judge claimed, “My first impression of Michael was a great likability. This is a guy that could star in a sitcom.” Michael’s likability allows him to relate to his audiences in a real way which sets up the huge laughs he gets from his sharp, personal material. Consistently writing and per-forming, this summer Michael released both a new album— The Internet Live through 800 Pound Gorilla and a new stand-up special on the Dry Bar app— 1984. Available for free streaming. Drew Hunt of The Chicago Reader wrote about Michael, “In a lot of ways, he repre-sents the ideal antidote to the sort of unbridled cynicism that pervades much of contemporary stand-up.” Michael’s optimism continues in the new National Lampoon series — The Bright Side where he takes a positive stance on a negative topic streaming on YouTube.
