Another incredible standup show returns to Arlington
Your headliner for this show:
JOHN CONROY
Visiting from Los Angeles, John Conroy, brings an everyman's attitude to smart, sharply written material that runs the gamut from shrewd observations to social satire
John made a rapid transition from opener to headliner, playing hundreds of shows each year and touring the top clubs throughout the country and working with the biggest names in the business. Conroy is a jovial iconoclast whose good-humored but aggressive act makes a lasting impression.
NATHAN LUFT
Nathan Luft is a D.C. based comic who has performed at the DC Improv, Hotbed Comedy Club, and the 2023 Asheville Comedy Festival. He's also performed in bars and basements - empty and full - all across the DMV for years. Nathan's comedy is the perfect blend of surrealism, 1980s observations on airline food, Marxist eco-nihilism, and Tiktok dances.
Nathan dreams of the day you see him on the street and say “aren’t you that one guy from that one thing?”
DAWN SHIRK
Dawn Shirk is a stand up comedian whose storytelling style of comedy focuses on everyday themes such as therapy, in-laws, coming out, and how to get fired from a cult. Based in Greensboro, NC, where she has competed in the Ultimate Comedy Challenge and performed in the NC Comedy Festival, and a variety of shows around her home state, including Winston-Salem, Graham, and Durham. She has recently been seen at the New South Comedy Festival in Greenville, SC, the Blue Ridge Comedy Club in Bristol, TN, the Knock Knock Comedy Showcase and Lynch’s Irish Pub In Jacksonville, FL, and Funny Girl’s in Mexico City. When she is not on stage, she can be found in a high school library, peddling books and working out jokes with apathetic teens.
PETE BERGEN
He may look and sound gruff but he is a big bear of a sweetheart. You’ll love his take on his own sordid history and observations in general. He has opened for and performed with some great folks like Patton Oswalt, Rory Scovel, Bobcat Goldthwait, Annie Lederman, David Koechner, Kelsey Cook, Annie Lederman, Alonso Bodden and more while featuring and headlining some great venues like the DC Improv (DC), Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse (VA), Magooby’s Joke House (MD), Nicks Comedy Stop (Boston), Governors (NY), Church Of Satire (PA) and The Drafthouse Comedy Theater (DC). He is also in recovery and is in demand for 12 step conventions all over. You may recognize Pete from his numerous appearances on Investigation Discovery shows or from his episode on the classic Americas Most Wanted. He always plays a cop because, well, look at him. Pete can also be seen as a contributor on local panel shows “Like It Or Not” and “The Final 5”, both on Fox 5 DC, offering up humorous takes on the days events.
