Come scream along, throw down with friends, and lose yourself in the heaviest night out your city has to offer

Columbus Funny Bone

For More Information, Visit columbus.funnybone.com About the Artist: Casey Rocket is an Austin-based comedian risen from the ashes of the speed freaks who came before him. A southern belle by nature, Rocket’s comedy career began in the pool halls of South Georgia before his riff-flowers blossomed in the fertile soil of the Atlanta comedy scene. Since moving to Texas in 2021, The Crab Man went from living in his Ford Escape to winning the inaugural Austin Comedy Competition. After his stinky little victory, Daft Rocket (as no one calls him) successfully auditioned to join the first class of Door Guys at Joe Rogan’s Comedy Mothership, where he performed alongside some of the biggest names in comedy. Often noted for his appearances on the Kill Tony podcast, Rocket was named one of the ‘15 Comedians Ready to Break Out in 2025’ by Deadline. Over the eons, Daft Rocket has brought his unique brand of nonsense comedy to SXSW, Moontower, Skankfest Vegas, the Boston Comedy Festival, and many more.

About the Artist: *BRAND NEW MATERIAL* With his place cemented as one of the true legends of comedy, comedian Bruce Bruce continues his career as one of the best in his craft. With a recognizable name and an impressive reputation, Bruce’s steady style of comedy has been showcased across the country – on stage, on TV, in film and on the written page. Although known for his adult comedy, Bruce prides himself on not using vulgarity to win a laugh. He is no stranger to winning over new audiences - young, old, from all backgrounds - with every appearance he makes. Bruce is one of the nation’s favorite standup comedians and can currently be seen on three national comedy tours, "LIT AF Tour" with Martin Lawrence, "The Real Mike Epps Tour,” and the “Royal Comedy Tour” with Sommore. When not on tour, Bruce can be found performing at premiere comedy clubs across the United States. He is also featured on the Netflix original comedy series “Family Reunion” as "Brother Davis", a hilarious foil for Loretta Devine's character. On the feature film front, Bruce has made cameos in Ice Cube’s “XXX: State of the Union”, “Idlewild,” and “Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.” He also appeared in the Steve Harvey comedy “Think Like a Man,” the Chris Rock- directed, “Top Five,” and most recently in "The Trap," "Undercover Brother 2," and “Miracles Across 125th Street” with Nick Cannon. When BET’s “Coast to Coast” came to town searching for talented up-and-coming comedians, Bruce was selected and ultimately appeared on the show three times. His career skyrocketed from there. Bruce made his first appearance on HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam”; followed quickly by an appearance on the “Showtime at the Apollo.” BET noticed and signed him on as host for two seasons of “Comic View”, and then as host of the popular comedian competition show on BET “Coming to the Stage.” Bruce’s bigger than life personality has transcended onto the music scene as well. He has made guest appearances in music videos with Ludacris and the Ying Yang Twins (after being named in their hit song “Salt Shaker”), Quad City DJ’s “Come On Ride the Train (Ride It)”and Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean.” Most recently, Bruce appeared in the KEM music video, “You’re On My Mind.” With great skill, Bruce easily weaves real life situations into comedic stories. He is a frequent guest on national radio shows and podcasts, including Kevin Hart’s “Comedy Gold Minds”, Marc Maron’s “WTF,” “85 South Show,” with DC Young Fly, and Netflix’s “Strong Black Lead.” Bruce’s memorable comedy festival appearances include the prestigious, Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in both Chicago and Montreal, Laffapalooza in Atlanta, GA, and the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO.
