In collaboration with Mike’d Up Comedy Productions

Winter calls for an extra dose of cozy — and there’s nothing like live comedy in our intimate, brick-lined space. After the success of our first summer stand-up series, we knew one thing: the laughs must go on.

Christine Hurley — the unstoppable Queen of Boston Comedy — is here to deliver. Matt Siegel (Kiss108’s “Matty in the Morning”) calls her his favorite comedian, and for good reason. Christine has brought the house down at the TD Garden for Denis Leary’s legendary Comics Come Home (benefiting the Cam Neely Cancer Foundation). You may have spotted her on Nick at Nite’s Search for America’s Funniest MomAmerica’s Got Talent, and The Great Food Truck Race on Food Network.

A powerhouse performer, Christine is a regular at Aruba Ray’s Comedy Club, the Montreal Comedy Festival, the Laugh Factory Las Vegas, and just about every major comedy club across New England. She’s also one of the most booked comics on the East Coast — and she’s bringing her razor-sharp, wildly relatable humor right to your front row.

ABOUT MIKE’D UP COMEDY Mike has taken his years of experience as a successful working comedian, his passion for the craft, and love of the stage, and created a company that builds hilarious shows for non-profits, corporations and venues across New England. Mike’d Up Comedy has held hundreds of shows, raised thousands with fundraising teams, and brought countless laughs to local events.

Showtime: Friday, November 7, at 7:30pm
