Alex Poloskey is a young Nashville-based comedian, with a LionHeart and a will to win. While Alex Poloskey may not be your first choice, yes there will always be someone bigger and you could probably find someone even faster, however through grit and determination this kid can win over any hostile crowd. What can be said about Alex Poloskey can also be said about the AK47 by Samuel L Jackson in the film Jackie Brown: “When you absolutely positively have to kill every mother fucker in the room, accept no substitute.”

The H.A.G.S (Have A Great Summer) Tour with Joe Kelley & Mary Jay Berger at Spiffy Squirrel stand-up comedy show at The East Room 7/3/2016.
The H.A.G.S. (Have A Great Summer) Tour with Joe Kelley & Mary Jay Berger kicks off at Spiffy Squirrel comedy show July 3rd and runs throughout the south east until July 21st.
MARY JAY BERGER is an awful person (her mom says she’s sassy). She hates sharing and loves telling people that she’s a doctor. Mary is not a doctor, but she does know more about Harry Potter than Neil deGrasse Tyson knows about anything.
Mary’s credits include: the Mary Watches Movies web series and being kicked out of a Titanic museum. She produces the monthly ‘Flying With Jaybird’ stand-up comedy show and tours the midwest and south east. See the reason Mary Jay Berger’s mom cries every day.
JOE KELLEY left Flint, Michigan in 2009 with 3 diplomas; A high school diploma, a graphic design diploma, and a radio diploma. Those 3 diplomas led him to Nashville, Tennessee where he began doing stand-up comedy.
Joe has a unique perspective on life, combined with a mid-western charm that makes audiences love him and comfortable with opening up to different ideas.

During 2016’s historic #BrokenRecordShow vol. 2, a series of snafus led to The East Room’s Nate and Ben building a secondary stage outside in the back yard to save the day. The outdoor show was so fun, Josh Lewis decided to use the space for a weekly open mic every Friday unless it rains. Not to be confused with DJ Buckley’s booked show outside every Saturday night.
