KOKIL LIVE @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 8/23/2015

KOKIL LIVE: Michael Hampton, Brad Edwards, Sean Parrott, Gary Fletcher PLUS, a special presentation of KOKIL videos. Each comic in the lineup has headlined Spiffy Squirrel comedy show before. It’s a best-of-the-better-of-the-best-of-the-bestest!

Michael Hampton

Michael Hampton is a delightful weirdo. You will love him.

Brad Edwards

It is an insult to Brad Edwards to even try to describe him. The essence of Brads comedy chops can not be crammed into anything as small and dull as written words. Its like looking at a photo of an atom bomb and acting like you got hit by an atom bomb NO A GAMMA BOMB like the Hulk. Ok I was wrong you can explain Brad. Brad is like the Hulk: dang funny.

Sean Parrott

“I’m a weird guy but I come by it honestly, because my Mom is a weird guy too.” Since 2006, Sean Parrott has been bringing his charismatic stage presence and a unique point of view to comedy clubs and bars all over the Southeast. Brought up on Bugs Bunny and Monty Python, Sean is an observational absurdist with a keen eye for finding the humor in everyday life; our language, our friends and our jobs (What is the DEAL with those?) He has acted in award winning animated films (“Pound Dogs” has aired on the Independent Film Channel), appeared at the Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, and was picked as one of Nashville’s Funniest Comics by Reader’s Digest. Energy, intelligence, and wry wit make Sean Parrott one of the best young comics working today.

Parrott is also a fantastic musician. His most recent album, “THE DTH OVE LOF” spawned a video for his single, “Summertime (Featuring Swagnum P.I.)” which is one of the greatest things on the internet.

Gary Fletcher

Internet sensation Gary Fletcher is the owner of a cat named Bug and is also co-creator of the stand-up powerhouse known as Corporate Juggernaut. He is very funny.

Brian Barganier @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 8/16/2015

8/16/2015: Brian Bargainer w/ Mike Shustock and more at Spiffy Squirrel stand-up comedy show at The East Room.

For years now Brian Barganier has been tearing up the comedy scenes in New York City and now is headlining around the country. The Connecticut native’s style runs comfortably on the edge of conventional and alternative comedy. He is described mostly as what can only be called “planned carelessness.” Although he is seen as being morbid or crude sometimes, Brian always manages to pull a 180 and find the funny in topics that sometimes seem untouchable. He has a full length CD and DVD entitled “Jokes Intended for Crickets.”
Winner of Funniest Comic in New England 2013 at Mohegan Sun Casino
Participated in NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity 2012
Finalist in radio 104.1 WMRQ’s Talent Warz
Comedy Central’s Naughty List 2012
Featured in the Fallback Comedy Festival 2013

Narado Moore @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 8/9/2015

8/9/2015 Narado Moore w/ Tollie Jones, Mike McCall, Jermaine Johnson at Spiffy Squirrel stand-up comedy show at The East Room.

Narado Moore w/ Tollie Jones, Mike McCall, Jermaine Funnymaine Johnson

Narado Moore has been called “The George Carlin of rim job humor,” but is also sometimes referred to as “The Richard Pryor of DeMoins” (by himself, when he is hilariously riffing on some of the crappy comics from out of town he has observed). Narado was the official MVP of NashvilleStandUp.com’s World Record Breaking #BrokenRecordShow in April and continues to slay audiences with his relaxed delivery, keen dissection of the absurdity of life, and the occasional incredibly crude and sexual non-sequitur. Narado never fails to “get the yuks.” HEYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Tollie Jones‘ comedy is favorably described as “if Kids in the Hall did stand-up” and is, if nothing else, always novel. He was selected to perform at the Birmingham music & comedy festival Secret Stages in 2012 and has opened for Doug Stanhope, among other acts.
