Berkshire Theatre Group (BTG) welcomes comedian, Richie Redding to the $5 Comedy Garage Series on Thursday, February 8 at 7:30pm.

Comedian and writer Richie Redding has performed at New York City's top clubs, as well as the Barclay's Center and Madison Square Garden. In 2013, Richie beat out 32 comics from all over the world to win the Bermuda International Comedy Competition. The next year, Richie was hand picked by celebrated comedian Katt Williams to be the official host of the Growth Spurt Tour, and the HBO special Priceless. Based on that success, Katt then asked him to be his featured act for the 2015 Born Again, Again Tour and the 2016 Conspiracy Theory Tour. Richie has had the honor of being selected to feature in a USO tour of South Korea, entertaining the 30,000 American troops stationed there.
