ilovebetty productions recently put together “Brad’s Night Out” – a funny short shot at Zanies featuring quite a few comics familiar to fans of Nashville’s comedy scene including Brad Edwards, Sean Parrott, Lahna Turner, Dan Whitehurst, Perry Redd, Scott D. Hill, Tim Long, Courtney Meyers, Joe Southards, Janet Williams and Joel T Wilson. Let’s all watch together as comedian Brad Edwards “finds love in the most unlikely of places:”
Rooftop Comedy recently featured Nashville’s own Billy Wayne Davis as their “comic of the day” with clips from his recent week of shows headlining at Side Splitters in Tampa.
With B-Dub’s first child due later this month, watch his “Pregnant Lady Farts” bit while it’s still timely:
Mike Speenberg, Dave AttellTonight, Mike Speenberg is headlining at Zanies Comedy Showplace.. but six years ago this week, he was the middle act on that same stage for Mitch Hedberg. “Early in my career I was fortunate enough to open for Mitch Hedberg on more than one occasion,” says Speenberg. “I didn’t realize at the time how much it would mean to me later in my life. He was a sweet guy and I miss him.”
Here is a video clip of Mitch Hedberg on stage at Zanies Easter weekend six years ago talking about Mike:
“He’s a hard act to follow,” said Mitch Hedberg. “I’m a hard act to follow too, because when I’m done I take the microphone with me.”
Others have described Speenberg’s act as a “perfect blend of Jeff Foxworthy and Dennis Leary.” He’s performed everywhere from Las Vegas to Cuba and has been featured on everything from “The Bob and Tom Show” to “The HBO Comedy Festival.” While the majority of comics today seem to focus in what makes them different from everybody else, Mike makes you feel like he grew up next door to you.
Here’s Mike talking about the Weekly Reader:
Mike is headlining at Zanies tonight at 7:30 p.m. – tickets are just $10. You should go.
