Larger Than Life
When you’re watching someone who is 6 feet 6 inches tall and absolutely hilarious, the phrase “Larger Than Life” tends to run through your mind. This is the case in all respects with Jim McCue. His staggering height is only matched by his love for comedy and his big Bostonian personality. Not only does […]

Not The Norm
Writers are often told, “Write what you know.” Comedians seem to have an innate understanding of this rule, as well. Humor is all around us, in the mundane, day-to-day experiences, in the funny ways people related to one another, in our reactions to odd circumstances. And some gifted individuals, like Norm Stulz, have the […]
A Cappella
Just like any good story-teller, comedians who have outside interests and hobbies always bring a lot of layers to their show. That’s exactly why Ron Feingold is such a talented showman. He’s definitely funny, of course, but he has so much more to offer- and that’s why McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre is eagerly offering him to […]
Whiskey, Cancer+ Bad Decisions
If you haven’t heard of Derek Richards yet, it’s okay. It’s not your fault. We don’t blame you. It could be because you’re not on tour with the U.S. Army, or possibly because you’re not hanging out in Las Vegas as often as Derek. Maybe you haven’t checked Sirius XM lately. Whatever […]

A Little Funny
It’s an unfortunate fact of life that many comedians fuel their comedic prowess with tales of bitterness, awkwardness, or self-deprecation. Not often does one find a comedian full of true optimism, happiness or positivity. Rob Little, this week’s headliner at McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre, is one of those rare breed that brings all the fun to […]
Hold My Beer
You know you’ve encountered a truly funny person when they have the ability to step away from the script, interact with the crowd, and go rogue while heckling the audience or joking with them about something unpredictable. McCurdy’s upcoming headliner, Al Romas, is exactly this kind of person. A natural-born comedian, Al has seen […]
Rock On!
Michael Mack and his Faces of Rock The definition of parody is “a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing.” With satire being one of the most intelligent forms of humor, and imitation being one of the highest forms of flattery, it’s easy to see why Michael Mack’s musical […]
UNAPOLOGETIC
They say much wisdom comes with age, but Tracy Smith, this week’s headlining comedian at McCurdy’s, is capitalizing on that adage. With a few years under her belt, she comes to the stage ready to set the kids straight and tell a few war stories from the trenches of singlehood in the process. With […]
Adulting
This week, McCurdy’s is pleased to host Aaron Kleiber on our stage. Get ready to relate to adulthood in completely new and real ways. Aaron is the kind of comedian that says the things you’ve always been thinking about marriage, parenting and adulting in general, but never would’ve said out loud. But Aaron […]
