January is for jokes and hijinks with Jess

December was a wonderful comedy-show close-out to 2018. Everything about last year sucked, but my comedy career didn’t suck as much. I was part of many fun shows, and I now look forward to the new year.

Thursday, Jan. 10: Performing at the Liberty Funny Bone is always a much-needed break from the local comedy scene. Also, I am barely part of the local comedy scene anymore. The show is always packed because the crowd from the early Thursday night show meanders out to discover us amateur comedians. The Liberty Funny Bone is located at 7518 Bales St. Space A-120 in Liberty Township, Ohio. There is no cover so you don’t have to call for reservations.

Sunday, Jan. 20: I will be back at my home club for Wiley’s Sunday Comics. I plan to do some new jokes because what else should you do in the new year? Wiley’s is located at 101 Pine St. Call 937-224-5653 for reservations.

This is me at The Barrel in Springboro on Dec. 27.

Saturday, Jan. 26: I will be at the Bojangles fundraiser for breast cancer. This is the 3rd year I have been on this show, and it is such a fun time! They raffle off booze, so there is at least one reason to go. Ranson Karr organizes this show every year. Bojangles is located at 1925 S. Alex Road in West Carrollton. The phone number is 937-866-4758.

Thursday, Jan. 31: One the last day of the month I will be headlining at Vine and Tap in Dublin, Ohio. This is a rescheduled show that was canceled last year. And if not 1 my 800-member Catholic family who live in the Columbus area do not show up, just think horse head in a bed. That’s it. So just do me this favor. This is an open mic that I am headlining, so you will get a great mix of talent. Vine and Tap is located at 55 S. High St. in Dublin.
