Comedians scheduled to perform:

Mike McCarthy – The Comedy Barbarian

In 1987, at the age of nineteen, Mike McCarthy first took the stage at Boston’s legendary Comedy Connection. Within a year he had won the WBRU Funniest man in Rhode Island contest and shortly thereafter was chosen to appear on the Showtime Comedy Club network. Touring up and down the east coast from Montreal to the Bahamas, Michael worked on honing his craft to razor sharp perfection. His explosive brand of humor and frenetic pace quickly earned him a reputation as a crowd slayer, and the colorful alias he still carries today The Comedy Barbarian. On stage Mike pushes the envelope every night with material that covers weird sex, to drug and alcohol abuse. His raucous, no holds barred act, never fails to get the crowd fired up. With over twenty five years of experience under his belt, and now at the height of his comedic powers, Michael hits the stage like a titan and does not relent until the entire audience is under his spell laughing at things they never thought they would. Some comics make you laugh, Mike McCarthy will make you laugh till you cry. Don’t miss this high energy, balls to the walls comedy experience….. JUST REMEMBER TO FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS!!!!!!!

Joey Carroll – Entertained Troops in Iraq

Joey Carroll made his way onto the comedy scene on a dare. His first open mike got him his first paid gig. Joey has been described as a cross between George Carlin and Dennis Miller. His no holds barred style has won him the respect of his fellow comedians and the laughter of his audiences. Edgy is his favorite way to work. His act has something for everyone. Joey Carroll’s comedy has taken him around the world. While performing at Los Angeles’ prestigious Improv he was discovered by AKA Productions and immediately booked to use his sharp wit and flawless comic timing to bring much needed laughter to our troops around the world. Most recently Joey Carroll was a stand out act at the Boston Comedy Festival. While appearing in the Hazardous show Joey was selected to perform at the Best of the Fest showcase. While performing with Bobcat Goldthwait during the Montreal Comedy Festival he was cast to appear with Bobcat in Comedy Central’s Pulp Comics. Joey’s clean observational comedy makes him a perfect act for just about any venue. Also: Joey Carroll’s comedy has taken him around the world. He has been invited to use his sharp wit and flawless comic timing for a third tour bringing much needed laughter to our troops around the world. He has just released his latest CD from his last tour to Iraq.
