Shane Mauss: This is your Shane on Drugs @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 11/22/2015

Shane Mauss: This Is Your Shane on Drugs at Spiffy Squirrel stand-up comedy show at The East Room 11/22/2015.

Shane Mauss has too many credits to name. Since winning HBO’s Comedy Arts Festival “Best Stand up Comic” Award, he’s gone on to be a favorite on Conan, Comedy Central, Netflix and pretty much everywhere online. His latest album, ‘My Big Break’, debuted at #1 on the iTunes comedy charts and is regarded among fans to be his best work yet. Now he’s diving into a brand new hour about one of his admittedly controversial lifelong passions: psychedelics.

A self-described insane teenager, Shane seems to have done every drug he could get his hands on while constantly in trouble with the law. In a few short years, however, he’s gone from barely getting a high school diploma and near homelessness to interviewing the top scientists in the world about the meaning of life on his hit podcast ‘Here We Are’. Throughout all of this there appears to have been only one constant in Shane’s life: TRIPPING BALLS.

Take a journey down the rabbit hole for some deep, authentic laughs about hallucinations, scientific insights, near-death experiences, and a whole lot of weird. If there is no concept strange enough for you, this is the show for you.

Chad Riden & friends @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 11/15/2015

Chad Riden & friends at Spiffy Squirrel stand-up comedy show at The East Room 11/15/2015.

Chad Riden has appeared on “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, the Late Show with David Letterman’s “Tony Mendez Show”, ABC’s “Nashville,” and is featured on an episode of CMT-Canada’s “Mississippi Snake Grabbers.”

Riden’s comedy is about his chaotic reality. He has weathered bankruptcy, divorce and foreclosure, launched a poultry farm, co-produced and headlined the Guinness World Records breaking #BrokenRecordShow, and made an unsuccessful run for mayor of Nashville. Riden tells self-incriminating stories that embarrass his daughter and make everybody else think he’s a weirdo. He lives in East Nashville with two flying squirrels and a turtle.

“Chad’s a good guy. He’s been through a rough divorce and his heart is heavy; he’s got a burden. That burden makes him funny.” – Marc Maron, WTF episode 209 (September, 2011) & in Marc’s book “Attempting Normal,” on page 175.

“His observations on the domestic sphere teeter amiably on the edge.” – The Nashville Scene

Over the course of a weekend in February 2011, Doug Stanhope called Chad Riden “wicked funny” once, “fucking brilliant” twice, and “stupid” only one time.

Sumukh Torgalkar & friends @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 11/8/2015

Sumukh Torgalkar & friends at Spiffy Squirrel stand-up comedy show at The East Room 11/8/2015.

20151108_SS-SumukhTorgalkar-sq

Sumukh Torgalkar was born in Cleveland, Ohio to two Indian people. It’s a simple statement but covers the adventure that is Torgalkar’s comedy. Focusing on such varied topics as his Midwest upbringing, his Hindu faith, and the Insane Clown Posse, Torgalkar weaves his personal experiences and observations via his dry but engaging sense of humor.

Torgalkar has helped organize numerous comedy festivals and tours the country performing anywhere from independent stages to comedy clubs to corporate events. He has opened for such major acts as Reggie Watts, Russell Peters, Kyle Kinane, and Chad Daniels.

Torgalkar also works as a freelance comedy writer and has contributed to MAD, 614, and Columbus Alive.

He released his first stand-up comedy album, “The Mispronunciation of Sumukh Torgalkar” in August 2015.

He probably has other credits, but he doesn’t remember them or you’re not interested anyway.

At some point, Torgalkar will die.

Jonnie W launches crowdsourcing campaign to record DVD 11/14 at The Franklin Theatre

Jonnie W

Once in a generation, someone comes along with the power and eloquence to inspire us all. Jonnie W. will entertain us while we wait for that person. A nationally touring comedy headliner with musical chops, Jonnie blends his quirky songs with off-beat stand-up for a unique comedy experience not to be missed.

Jonnie W

Jonnie recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to cover the costs of filming a project at the Franklin Theatre. On the funding page he says, “I’ve been telling jokes to strangers all over the country for over 8 years now, and I’m hoping to record my very first 1 hour comedy special soon.”

Nashville StandUp asked him why he chose to film his show here. Jonnie says:

“I looked at other venues in other cities as option for taping my new special, but it just feels right to be doing it in Nashville, since it’s the place that gave me my start in comedy. I moved here 8 years ago, and there’s such a unique energy to this town- creativity, music, desperation, and pain. The same qualities that made it a great city for innovation in music have contributed to a thriving new comedy scene. I’m honored to be a part of it.

We chose to shoot the special at the historic Franklin Theatre, which is almost 100 years old, and recently underwent a 4 million dollar restoration project. It’s a beautiful old room, and should be perfect for comedy. Now, as is the hard part in any entertainment town, I have to try and fill the seats.

I’m calling in favors from old friends to help make the recording happen, but it is still an expensive undertaking. I’ve launched an IndieGoGo campaign, to help offset some of the costs, and basically pre-sell the download of the project to contributors and fans out of state.”

There are perks ranging in price from $15 for a digital download of the finished project to $500 for a personalized video shout-out, your name in the credits of the special, a t-shirt and a bunch of other stuff. Support one of our very own as he creates something cool by pre-ordering his special now on his Indiegogo campaign or by buying tickets for the show itself.

So far in 2015, Caleb Synan has made appearances on CONAN, Last Comic Standing, and the Bob and Tom Show. His deceptively smart blend of Southern charm and razor sharp wit has also made him a festival favorite, making appearances at Just for Laughs (Montreal), Laugh Your Asheville Off, The Charleston Comedy Festival, and Athfest 2015. He also won “Wittiest” in Franklin County High School’s 2009 Yearbook. And he’s a pretty nice guy.
