GARDINER — Maine Event Comedy will presents Will Martin’s “Total Loss,” a comedy show about death, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 16, at Johnson Hall Performing Arts Center,
280 Water St.
The show also will feature Jimmy Cash and Ali Simpson.
Boston comedian Martin had a hard year. His car died, his friend died, his new car died and then his brother died.
“Total Loss” is the story he has no choice but to tell — a tale of road trips, diner coffee and a dive bar in Montana. After a sold out run in Boston, he’s taking it on the road again. Half comedy show, half tribute, “Total Loss” is about the thing we never joke about and one thing we all have in common.
The show is for ages 21 and older and will contain adult language and content.
Cash is a young working class man with an old soul. He draws from his experience as a father of a teenage daughter, an uncertain amount of stepchildren, and 15 years as a public school janitor. He’s performed at Nick’s Comedy Stop, The Woohaha Comedy Club, and the Comedy Attic.
Simpson was recently selected for Comedyfort in Boise, Idaho, and Michigan’s 10-day LaughFest. She was also part of What a Joke, a nationwide fundraising event for the ACLU, and recently made her television debut on the Nite Show with Danny Cashman.
Tickets may be bought at johnsonhall.org or by calling the office between noon to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. For more information, call 207-582-7144.
