BATH — Comedy can be the cure for the common winter blues. Life-long local Johnny Ater, will anchor Ater & Friends Comedy Night Saturday, Feb. 17, in the Chocolate Church Arts Center annex, 804 Washington St.
Comedians Nellie Coes, Kevin Neales and Tuck Tucker will join Ater. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show.
Headliner Ater has been entertaining Maine audiences since 2003.
One moment he is taking light-hearted swipes at himself (and his fellow Mainers), and how NOT cool he is; and the next moment he is contorting his face in the most amazingly goofy ways, you can’t help but crack a smile at what a ham this guy is.
Coes is a stand-up comedian from Yarmouth; Kevin Neales is a stand-up comedian, originally from — and now living in — Portland. He has performed at The Comedy Connection (Portland, Boston, Providence), The Comedy Studio (Boston), The Ice House (Los Angeles) and Mottley’s(Boston). Tucker is one of the funniest and most dynamic comics to come out of New England in the last decade. Audiences enjoy his combination of verbal wit and physical comedy. Tucker loves to re-visit his growing up years in his brand of humor or shares all of his job experience previously working at a funeral home.
Seating is limited for this adult-content show. Tickets are available by calling the box office, 207-442-8455, or online www.chocolatechurcharts.org.
