THEO VON: Return of the Rat
Nov 8 @ 7:30 pm
Peace Concert Hall

THEO VON grew up in the stray animal belt of southern Louisiana. He was a child there and became an adult slowly there.

He can be seen and heard weekly on his widely popular podcasts that garner millions of listens/views a month THIS PAST WEEKEND, and KING AND THE STING.

Theo’s new comedy special REGULAR PEOPLE was filmed at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN and is now streaming on Netflix.

In the Spring of 2020 Theo completed his two-year DARK ARTS TOUR, which took him across America, Australia, and Europe, and another country. He’s currently on the road with his RETURN OF THE RAT TOUR.

If you want to know how Theo is doing, he is probably doing the best he can, which varies.

The Campfireball
Nov 9 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Story Parlor

A storytelling show about the audience, The Campfireball is created spontaneously out of whatever stories and lives happen to be gathered together at that moment in time. Workshopped and developed over two years in the master’s program for storytelling at East Tennessee State University and showcased in this year’s Asheville Fringe Festival, host Cory Howard blends intimacy and absurdity in an effort to shepherd the audience through unique yet reverent ways of drawing out their life experiences. Never possible to know what’s coming next, each Campfireball slowly begins to reveal surprises, connections, and communitas as the space transforms from a room of strangers to a room of neighbors. Worth noting, some people think the premise of The Campfireball sounds “like their worst nightmare”, but participation is never required, the show is just as much fun to sit back and watch unfold as it is to play along, so don’t be afraid to take a risk! Come on out for a night of storytelling you will literally never be able to experience again.

Comedy at Catawba: Dan Carney
Nov 10 @ 7:00 pm
Catawba Brewing Company South Slope

Every Friday Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This week we have Dan Carney from NYC!

Despite being perhaps the palest person from nearly uninhabitable Florida, Dan has managed to stay alive long enough to create comedy videos that have been featured on shows such as The Joe Rogan Experience, the popular internet sketch group Friday Beers and recently in the upcoming feature length film Dumb Money starring Seth Rogen and Pete Davidson. In 2020 Dan established himself as one of the top up and coming young stand up comedians in the country, earning the opportunity to open for Tim Dillon on a national sold-out tour. Now he regularly tours the country performing at clubs and colleges headlining his own shows. When he’s not on the road, Dan performs on a nightly basis at comedy clubs in his new home of New York City. He’s also been featured in the New York Comedy Festival, the Asheville Comedy Festival, and the Rogue Island Comedy festival.
