GARDINER — Twenty-year comedy veteran Steve Scarfo will perform Saturday, Jan. 19, as part of Maine Event Comedy at Johnson Hall Performing Arts Center.
Jody Sloane will be the evening’s featured comedian along with host Mark Turcotte.
The show begins at 7:30 p.m. at the center, at 280 Water St. The show is for ages 21-plus and will contain adult language and content.
Scarfo is a veteran of the Boston comedy scene, and has performed at Comedy Connections in Boston and Portland, Nick’s Comedy Stop, Laugh Boston, Comix at Foxwoods, and with Laugh Riots Productions. He’s worked with national acts including Dave Coulier, Victoria Jackson and Jeff Dunham.
A trained actor, Scarfo has also appeared in the A&E real-life drama “Caesars 24/7.
Sloane cut her entertainment teeth doing her sit-down shtick as a cheeky “Conducktor” named Penny Wise on the Boston Duck Tours. She logged over 4,000 tours, leading her to be a stand-up comedian. She’s now a regular at esteemed comedy venues throughout New England, in New York City, and at Comix at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. She’s impishly perverse and will have you convinced that in the darkest corners of truth is comedy.
Turcotte was a recent selection to Boston, Cleveland and North Carolina comedy festivals and will soon make his national television debut on Gotham Comedy Live.
Tickets may be bought at johnsonhall.org or by calling the box office, 207-582-7144, between noon and 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
