SUMMARY:Kricket Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Prepare to laugh your glass off as Kricket Comedy returns to Laurita Winery! Doors open at 7pm\, and the show starts at 7:30pm. Only 21+. \nDouble Headliner!\nDavid Graham brings big laughs with relatable stories\, quick wit\, and a laid-back style that keeps audiences laughing from start to finish. \nHis sharp observations and everyday humor make him a crowd favorite wherever he performs. \nJanet McNamara is a Boston-bred comedian now based in New York City\, where she recently became a regular at \nThe Comedy Cellar following the viral success of her debut special\, Not Smart Enough. \nAfter spending 15 years balancing stand-up with a career in accounting in her hometown of Summerville\, MA\, Janet has emerged as one of comedy’s most distinctive voices—pairing razor-sharp joke writing with an unbothered\, plainspoken delivery that sneaks up on you and then levels the room. \nPraised by Maria Bamford as “a fantastic comic with an amazing delivery and enviable timing of very unique material\,” Janet has also had her stand-up shared by Amy Schumer and Bill Burr\, further cementing her reputation as a comic’s comic with mainstream heat. \nHer offbeat perspective has been featured on “Dont Tell Comedy”\,“America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol” (yes\, really). \nJanet has opened for Maria Bamford\, Jessica Kirson\, and Eugene Mirman\, and has performed at festivals including the Women in Comedy Festival\, Asheville Comedy Festival\, Rogue Island Comedy Festival\, Boston Comedy Festival\, Big Sky Comedy Festival\, and Hampton Beach Comedy Festival. \nHer debut comedy album\, Not Smart Enough\, is available now on PGF Records.
