Hey Columbia, remember comedian Joey Massaro? Well, he’s getting married soon and some of his friends from the Columbia comedy scene are heading up to New Jersey for the wedding. To help us raise a little bit of money to get there and back, because gas is expensive, we’re having a show at Art Bar on June 6th at 8pm. Look at this line up! Besides me, we’ve got Wayne Cousins, Joe Coughlin, and Jenn Snyder. The show is FREE but we’ll gladly take donations to help cover some of our travel costs.
