You aren’t doing anything this Sunday night at 8. That’s why you should take the opportunity to see a nationally touring comedian right here in Buffalo!

Josh Blue, winner of season 4’s Last Comic Standing, brings his act to the Allendale theatre for the first time ever, and you have the chance to be there!

Although Josh first entered the limelight as a contestant on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, he had been a stand-up for years, touring clubs and colleges all across the country. Most people know his as the comic who puts the “cerebral” in “cerebral palsy.” His unique take on having a disability, coupled with his ability to improvise on the spot make for a show you’re guaranteed to love. Josh’s act is ever-changing, so if you were a fan of his on Last Comic Standing, you can expect to see a brand new act.

Since achieving fame, Josh has been featured on Comedy Central, ABC, FOX, NBC, and was the first stand-up comic to perform on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Be sure to check out Josh’s first ever half-hour comedy special on Comedy Central.

Opening the show is local comedy legend Kristen Becker. Kristen won 2005’s Queen City Comedy Competition and has since been regarded as one of Buffalo’s most talented stand-up comics. You can catch her as the headliner of “The Dykes of Hazzard” comedy tour, a successful and nationally touring stand-up comedy show that has received critical applause.

This is an all-ages show, tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling the Allendale Theatre at 884.8400. And hurry, seats are going fast!

    Story Image Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way.
