CBS Scene at Patriot Place to Host Comedy Shows

Foxborough, Mass. – There’s a new scene coming to Patriot Place and it’s sure to bring plenty of laughs. CBS Scene Restaurant and Bar will celebrate the grand opening of the Comedy Scene on Friday, June 26. The comedy show, hosted by Wes Hazard, will feature comedians Jim Colliton and Sean Sullivan.

“The Comedy Scene is going to be a great addition to our entertainment options for guests at CBS Scene,” said Rob Christensen, general manager of CBS Scene Restaurant and Bar. “There are few things better than a fun night out with friends to see a comedy show. With the quality of comedians we have on tap for our grand opening event, we expect lots of laughs!”

Doors to The Comedy Scene, located on Level One of CBS Scene, open at 7:30 p.m. Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at www.eventbrite.com/e/jim-colliton-live-at-the-comedy-scene-tickets-17075763067.

Jim Colliton has built his comedy career around being funny and clean. He lives in suburbia with his wife and three children and spends his days in carpools, youth sports and helping his children with their homework. All of these activities have helped Colliton create a hilarious comedy routine that everyone can relate to. Colliton has been seen on Ed McMahon’s “Next Big Star,” Comcast’s “Comedy Spot Light,” Comedy Central’s “Laugh Riots” and heard on XM Satellite Radio’s Comedy Channel and Slacker Radio. Colliton’s comedy CD, “Stories from the Suburbs,” won the Best Comedy Album of 2009 by the JPF awards held in Nashville, Tenn.

Sean Sullivan has secured his place in the Boston comedy scene by pursuing new and innovative ways of entertaining audiences. With his quick wit, strong improvisational talents and autobiographical material, audiences never exactly know what they are about to get when he takes the stage. Sullivan is a two-time semi-finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival and made his television debut in 2009 on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham.”

Wes Hazard was named one of five Boston comedians to watch by The Boston Globe Magazine. A writer, storyteller and comedian, Hazard brings wit, energy and honesty to the stage – qualities that have made him a regular performer in Boston venues as well as the Boston Comedy Festival and the Women in Comedy Festival. Hazard is a multiple-time winner on The Moth StorySLAM stage and has appeared as a guest on the “Comedy Bang! Bang! Live!” podcast, which is based on the critically-acclaimed IFC television show with Scott Aukerman and Paul F. Tompkins.

The Comedy Scene will return to CBS Scene Restaurant and Bar on Friday, July 17, and Friday, Aug. 21. For more information, visit www.patriot-place.com/events/THE-COMEDY-SCENE-Grand-Opening_5729#.VXXG-WddVth.
