GARDINER — Maine Event Comedy presents trial attorney-turned-comedian, Saturday, June 3, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Johnson Hall, 280 Water St. The show also will feature Los Angeles transplant Brian Brinegar, Boston’s Liam McGurk and host Mark Turcotte.
A native of Athens, Ga., Morgan set aside a career as a successful trial attorney to pursue comedy full-time in 2005. She was a finalist on Nick at Nite’s “Search for the Funniest Mom in America” and has been touring the country playing clubs, theaters and corporate events ever since.
Morgan has performed at Caroline’s in New York, the Improv in Las Vegas and The Laugh Factory in Hollywood. Her comedy can be heard on Sirius XM Radio and nationally syndicated radio shows. Her television appearances include ads for Walmart and Zyrtec. She resides in Cumberland and is licensed to practice law in both Maine and Georgia. However, she plans to stick with comedy until someone in her family gets arrested — again.
Thrice named Maine’s Best Comedian by the Portland Phoenix, Brinegar is originally from Los Angeles and has worked with Last Comic Standing winner Iliza Shlesinger. He was featured on the Comedy Time Network and has performed at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles and the Ice House in Pasadena.
Despite his sleepy demeanor, McGurk is one of Boston’s fastest rising stars. He’s a regular at the Comedy Studio, Laugh Boston and Giggles Comedy Club. Turcotte performed at New York City’s Gotham Comedy Club and was selected for the Boston, Cleveland and North Carolina comedy festivals.
Tickets are $16 for adults, $14 for senior citizens and may be purchased at www.johnsonhall.org. The show is for ages 21-and-older, and doors open at 7 p.m.
