GARDINER — Two diverse evening entertainment events will be held during November at Johnson Hall Performing Arts Center — Maine Event Comedy on Saturday, Nov. 17, and The Last Waltz Live, on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 23 and 24.
Maine Event Comedy will present New Hampshire’s Kyle Crawford at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17. The night also will feature Julie Poulin and Leonard Kimble.
Crawford’s quick wit and wide range of subject matter has earned him bookings in comedy clubs and colleges throughout the country, including the Louie Anderson Theater in Las Vegas and the Wilbur Theatre in Boston.
Only a few months into her stand-up career, Poulin is already making waves. She reached the semifinals at Empire’s Summer Classic and performs regularly throughout the state. She’s also part of the Mainely Improv troupe and Mystery for Hire dinner theater.
As charming as he is funny, Aubun’s Kimble reached the semifinals in the Tightest Five contest and made the final five in House of Bacon’s Wednesday Night Live competition. He’s also opened for internationally touring comedian Rich Vos.
The show is for ages 21-and-older; doors will open at 7 p.m.
The Last Waltz LIVE, is a revisiting of the classic documentary of The Band’s final concert, with Maine musicians.
