The Triple Threat Comedy Show brings together three seasoned comedians for one stacked night of stand-up. No openers, no filler — just extended sets from comics sharpening material for tours, tapings, and festivals.
Expect big laughs, with performers given the freedom to stretch out, settle in, and have fun on stage. Perfect for a date night or a night out with friends.
If you love stand-up that’s confident, unfiltered, and built for real comedy fans, The Triple Threat Comedy Show is your move.
Barry Whitewater is a suburban dad from Dallas, Texas. A married, father of two children, who say they love him, but act quite the opposite. Want to know what insight a middle aged father of two can bring today's world, he's got it. Born just North of the border (uh, Oklahoma, not Canada) he'll compare and contrast both. Barry has appeared on JLTV and worked with comedians Nate Bargatze, Jon Lovitz and Tom Arnold. He’s headlined at the State Fair of Texas and the Plano Comedy Festival. He’s featured at Hyena’s, The Improv, Loony Bin and other comedy clubs as well as The Star owned by the Dallas Cowboys.
Born and raised in Dallas, Ruth Banks is a stand up comedian who stands out. Equipped with a spine of steel (literally...there’s 20 screws in there!), she brings an unstoppable combination of sharp wit and unique life experience that makes her set one of a kind. Her debut comedy album “Screwed” was released in December of 2022 and her comedy special “Braced” was recorded in a back brace after spinal surgery in 2024. She’s been doing comedy for 7 years in the DFW area, is an audience favorite, and brings an unmatched energy to the stage every time.
 Quinten J Bushmaster….The Methamphetamine Troubadour….The Pride of Taco TX….The man, the myth, the felon. Quinten J’s unique brand of comedy has been captivating audiences for months. He is uneducated, vulgar, and believes that PC is a children's fruit drink. What are others saying about Quinten J? “Hands down the vilest human being I have ever met, yet I can't stop thinking about him.”-JENNIFER LAWRENCE, ACTRESS. There’s a special place reserved in hell for that man.”- PAT ROBERTSON, HOST OF THE 700 CLUB. “Quinten J? Hell yeah, I know him. One thing is for sure! Quinten J is all about the ladies, and the ladies, they all about Quinten J.”-KENDRICK LAMAR, RAPPER. What is it like spending an evening with Quinten J? Find out for yourself….If you have the stones.
 This is a GretchYo Presents production.
